Installation Tips: Eclipse 3.2 on Ubuntu

This post talks about how to install Eclipse 3.2 on Ubuntu.

(CSDN July 21, 2006)

It is not hard to find that Eclipse 3.2 has been available for a long time. However, you can not find a 3.2 deb on China local Ubuntu repository (all that I got is 3.1.2). So, I try another way.

  1. download the gtk2 version of eclipse for Linux.
  2. make sure you install sun-java5-jre and make it default JVM on your Ubuntu. It is not hard, too. Ubuntu.org.cn has a nice article on this issue.
  3. unzip the tar.gz you download to a folder, for me I choose /home/lextm. It should be a folder eclipse containing all files needed.
  4. make a desktop shortcut. The link should be /home/lextm/eclipse/eclipse.
  5. then run this shortcut and Eclipse 3.2 should be launched. For me, it is quite okay.

What is missing is how to install Java 6. I will solve this issue soon.

Stay tuned.
