Eclipse-IDE installation

JackQ01 · 07-05-2016, 05:55 AM

Hi, I am trying to install Eclipse IDE ,mainly for C++ usage, on an OpenSuse 13.2 (64bits).
Can't find and integrate correct repositories in YaST2.
I download a tar.gz (eclipse-cpp-luna-SR2-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz). Can I and how to put it in the right folders?

After installing java from repo, download eclipse from official site
https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/eclipse-packages/

Extract the archive in any folder and click on "eclipse" to start using eclipse.
Eclipse is a java application so u just need to install java runtime from repo to run eclipse.

seeing as suse is a bit of a bloated os ( i run 42.1 )
it is normally BEST to use the official repos FIRST
then if that can not meat your needs then the community repos , like packman and OBS

seeing as eclipse is in the official OSS repo
open "yast2 / install software" and do a search
"ecj " is there
put a check in the check box and click accept
