Eclipse is a software development environment for a whole host of programming languages and platforms.

http://www.eclipse.org/

I've repackaged the SDK binary (it's also called "Eclipse Classic" on some of the official site's pages), the versions for C++ and C++ Linux developers, and the versions meant for Java and JavaEE developers as SFS4 packages. Versions 4.3.0 and 3.7.2 (for the C++ for Linux devs package) of Eclipse are available for download.

Please see the relevant page on my website for download links and further information.

Eclipse is written primarily in Java, so you'll need a package for the JRE to run it. You can get version 1.6 as an SFS or 1.7 as either an SFS or as a PET, from the following thread:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=67371

If you plan to use Eclipse to work with Java, then you'll need the JDK. If you do that then there's no need for a separate JRE package. An sfs4 for JDK version 1.6 and another for 1.7 can be found in this thread.

Have you made any software using this environment?

hi!

should this eclipse classic version work for C/C++ projects (I need it to work with openCV library) or should I install the eclipse IDE for C++ dev?

(I'm new to eclipse and puppy...)

thanks,
pr

I've tweaked the package just a bit, but you may or may not need to switch to the newer version.

Instead of launching with the command "/usr/bin/eclipse" as before, the program now launches with the command "/usr/bin/eclipse_sdk" instead. (It's just a symlink renamed, nothing else changed.) Thanks to a previous post inquiring about Eclipse for C++ developers, I realized that if one were to install multiple versions of Eclipse, then the launch commands must be distinct.

By the way, if anyone wants Eclipse for C/C++ or for C/C++ Linux development, you can get them from my site, along with Eclipse SDK as addressed in this thread. [LINK] If anyone expresses interest in either of those packages, or if "cannot" from above contacts me/posts here again, I'll roll them into this thread, too.

Updated to Eclipse platform version 4.2.0

Links directly to packages from this thread have been removed to make maintaining current information easier, what with four versions of the Eclipse IDE platform now being packaged up and made available for Puppy. A page on my website has been linked instead, and that contains the download links and some other relevant information.

UPDATED to Eclipse platform version 4.2.1

I just installing eclipse, and just when I start to write the first line of code for example.

System. just in this moment the program close an give me the bug.

#
# A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:
#
# SIGSEGV (0xb) at pc=0x82525bc5, pid=1914, tid=3076462272
#
# JRE version: 7.0_13-b20
# Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (23.7-b01 mixed mode linux-x86 )
# Problematic frame:
# C [UTF-16.so+0xbc5] gconv+0x3b5
#
# Failed to write core dump. Core dumps have been disabled. To enable core dumping, try "ulimit -c unlimited" before starting Java again.


If I have a copy and paste of code, I haven't any problem, is just when I write the code.

Any Idea... thanks.
