Can't get Eclipse Galileo plugins to work in FC12


Hi folks,

I have recently had to update Eclipse but it behaved weirdly, and there was an experimental plugin that I couldn't get to remove cleanly, so I decide to reinstall it completely, cleaning the old "metadata".

The experimental plugin disappeared completely but I couldn't get Eclipse CDT and JDT to work. There's no C/C++ or Java perspective.

After having removed all the eclipse-related packages from my fedora box, I issued a few yum-install commands, specifying, among others, the eclipse-cdt and eclipse-jdt packages. They are showed to be installed in Eclipse, but I can't access their perspective. When I open C or Java sources the default inner editor or Emacs get called instead.

I tried to reinstall the CDT and JDT plugins from inside Eclipse. The installation appears to be successful, Eclipse lists the plugins as being correctly installed, but I can't open the respective perspectives yet.

Am I missing something?

TIA

Tavs

Hi -

Definitely make sure you have the Sun JDK installed, and definitely make sure to use "alternatives" to make sure that the Sun JDK is the default (and *not* OpenJDK or Gnu Java).

Then delete and re-install Eclipse, and see if that fixes the problem.

'Hope that helps .. PSM

Already done, no help.

I fixed the problem installing the binary version of Eclipse from the eclipse portal, it doesn't have any of those problems.

thanks,
