Re: Eclipse Development

No, they are extracted from jars to folders when installed. The preference initializer is a built-eclipse element.

Re: Eclipse Development

I was able to get Eclipse up and running under ubuntu 10.04 by just follwing their instructions. A post on my blog might help those of you who are struggling.

Overall, I love these plugins. The robot centric view is amazing.

Re: Eclipse Development

@GGCO

Great! I am glad to hear that they are working that well for you


@enbug

Are the FRC "features" under the Eclipse features folder? if they are not then Eclipse may not be "seeing" the plug-ins as available to startup, - and Eclipse is not properly installing.

Is there anything about your computer's sofware which sticks out to you as being very different? I am trying to determine the difference between your machine and the Mac/Linux we tested on (we have successfully installed to Eclipse on Mac and Linux before).

So, just to sum it up for those reading this thread:

-Eclipse plugins are installing but not starting up in Eclipse for enbug (help content and such does not appear)
-enbug has tried both mac and Linux, with fresh Helios install, and is correctly accepting certs
-During plug-in testing, the plug-ins have been successfully installed on Linux, Mac, and Windows
-Other users are able to install and use the plug-ins successfully
-Linux is giving errors about not finding required items, even though it should be finding available required items and asking for permission to download them as well

Re: Eclipse Development

Also @enbug:

On the Linux install, when you first open the install new software window, do you have "Contact all update sites..." checked off? If not, this would explain it not just asking you if it is ok to install a dependency

Re: Eclipse Development

Thank you for all your advice, but at two pages for just one person's problems with the Eclipse plugins, I'm gonna throw in the towel, especially as others have installed it successfully on linux. If I find the solution, I'll post it here, but it is a little crazy to have one thread for just my problems. Thank you so much for your time, Ryan O.

Re: Eclipse Development

We've probably been lucky - but we got it running on Fedora 10 and Mac OS X 6(?), pretty much out of the box. We downloaded the zip/tar install for Linux and/or Mac from Eclipse.org, unzipped it, pointed to the JDK location (that was what was causing my initial problems), pointed to the WPI update site and sucked those in, set the Team ID, and then we've been using it since. I realize that doesn't help out your problem - but it shows it can be done. I'm so much happier to not have to use NetBeans (only because Eclipse is what I was familiar with).

Re: Eclipse Development

Ok, I fixed it. The plugin has a requirement for 10.6, Snow Leopard. I don't know why, but it works on Snow Leopard, but not even on a clean install of Leopard.

Re: Eclipse Development

Interesting - I can tell you that it is not programmed in (you can specify to only support certain OS's, but I didn't do so). Honestly, I am no expert on the exact way plug-in installation works on Eclipse, so I have no more idea than you why the OS made a difference. Regardless, glad you got it fixed. Additionally, don't be too worried about a two-page thread "just for your problem". Wonderful thing about Chief Delphi is that if someone else has a similar problem, they have two pages describing the troubleshooting steps you went through to solve it

Good luck this season! http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/im...fety-smile.gif
