Eclipse 3.3 수동 설치하기.

##################################################################

I have been using Eclipse for quite some time now. I prefer Eclipse as development IDE because its ease of use. The overall design of Eclipse keeps the tools you need immediately at your fingertips.

Using APT to install Eclipse on your Debian / Ubuntu machine will give you the old version of Eclipse. I would like to share with you my steps to install Eclipse 3.3 manually.

1. You’ll need JRE installed on your machine.

sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jre

2. Download Eclipse SDK from its main site (Choose Eclipse Classic) :

http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/

3. Extract the eclipse download and move to opt.

tar xzf wtp-all-in-one-sdk-1.0-linux-gtk.tar.gz
sudo mv eclipse /opt/eclipse cd /opt sudo chown -R root:root eclipse
sudo chmod -R +r eclipse
sudo chmod +x `sudo find eclipse -type d`

4. Then create an eclipse executable

sudo touch /usr/bin/eclipse
sudo chmod 755 /usr/bin/eclipse

5. Create the file

sudoedit /usr/bin/eclipse

With the content:

#!/bin/sh
#export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=”/usr/lib/mozilla/”
export ECLIPSE_HOME=”/opt/eclipse”

$ECLIPSE_HOME/eclipse $*

6. If you use gnome, create a shortcut

sudoedit /usr/share/applications/eclipse.desktop

With the content :

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Eclipse
Comment=Eclipse IDE
Exec=eclipse
Icon=/opt/eclipse/icon.xpm
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=GNOME;Application;Development;
StartupNotify=true
Configure

That’s it. You can start your eclipse by typing eclipse in your terminal. The new Eclipse a bit faster than before. You should have a try.
