How to install Maven 2 plugin for Eclipse on 64-bit linux? - linux

I have Fedora 11 (x86 64) installed with Eclipse. I need a Maven plugin, preferrably m2eclipse, but I cannot find out how to install it. I've tried going through yum, but to no avail (I can't even find any maven plugins).
On my other laptop, I've tried installing the plugin using yum on a 32 bit install of Fedora 11, and while the package shows as being installed, I still don't see it in Eclipse. I've even tried starting eclipse with the clean flag.
Could anyone provide me with help? I've got maven 2.0.4 installed. Thanks in advance!

I was able to install the core components of the m2eclipse plugin after I first installed the ganymede packages from their update site:
http://download.eclipse.org/releases/ganymede/
Apparently "Fedora Eclipse" is not a flavor of the ganymede build.

Use the following update site: http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/update/
It's typically under Help -> Software Updates… and then you can add a new update site. Use the one above and you should have the option to install the plugin.

Goto Eclipse->Help->Install New Software...
Add the following update site in Eclipse
http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/sites/m2e
and enable the repository for your release of eclipse under "Available Software Sites" as well (which is disabled in Fedora by default).
Afterwards the installation in Eclipse should work without any missing dependencies.

I was hitting the same problem; evlipse installs it but the plugin isn't visible in the list nor are any of the features it should offer (such as a maven import wizard).
java 6, ubuntu, eclipse downloaded from the official site.
I removed ~/.eclipse/org.eclipse.platform_3.5.0_1020258342
Started eclipse again
added the EMF update site
added the IAM site
installed eclipse IAM core, said no to resarting the workspace, quit eclipse
started eclipse
and its working.

How to remove Eclipse with plugins (on Arch Linux)?

I've installed Eclipse Java EE (eclipse-jee package from AUR) on Arch Linux. Also I've installed some Eclipse plugins via Eclipse Marketplace. After re-installing Eclipse I fond that all the plugins I've installed before are still displayed in Eclipse Installation Details. Why?
To remove eclipse I used the pacman -Rns command, which removes all unneeded dependencies and configuration files. I also removed ~/.eclipse and ~/.conf/eclipse folders but plugins still appear in Installation Details. And the trick is they are not really installed, but just displayed in Installation Details.
Okay, it's not a big deal to remove them manually but I'm just wondering where do Eclipse store plugins/information about plugins? Because theoretically it can only write to user's home folder.
Try the following files:
[eclipse_location]/configuration/org.eclipse.equinox.simpleconfigurator/bundles.info
[eclipse_location]/configuration/org.eclipse.update/platform.xml

Subclipse cannot load default SVN client, even though everything is installed properly

I'm having a problem with Subclipse, when trying to do anything like committing, updating or viewing history the first time nothing happens, and the second time I try this error show up:
All this used to work just fine but suddenly it stopped working. All the required packages are installed:
The "SVN interface" option in the preferences is empty/greyed out:
I have another Eclipse installation (Java EE) which has the same packages installed and everything is still working fine there.
I've already tried reinstalling all the SVN packages but to no avail. I'm running Eclipse Kepler on Linux Mint 16 Petra, SVN is version 1.7.9.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: I figured out that the other Eclipse installation had different (older) versions of the plugins. After updating these, that installation also stopped working. I suspect that my SVN version (1.7.9) is too old. I see 1.8.x has already been released, how can I install that version in my Linux installation? Running apt-get update/upgrade doesn't do it. I've seen some people talking about running dist-upgrade but that has broken things in the past so I'm very reluctant to do so unless absolutely necessary.
EDIT: I managed to install subversion 1.8.10 using these steps, but to no avail.
I managed to solve the issue my removing SVNKit and installing the "Subversion JavaHL Native Library Adapter" instead. I tried that before but it did work after I had also updated subversion to 1.8.

Installing eclipse IDE for Java EE developers on Linux Mint

I'm new to the Linux method of program installation. I have found instructions on how to install several different Eclipse versions such as JDK and CDK from the terminal but can't seem to find the package name for the Java EE version.
ex. 'sudo apt-get install eclipse-cdt' installs the C++ version
I need the the option for Java EE, so what do I fill in the "option" below with?
'sudo apt-get install eclipse-option'
You will need to get a few packages to get it working.
eclipse
eclipse-jdt
eclipse-pde
eclipse-platform
eclipse-rcp
To install them:
sudo apt-get install eclipse eclipse-jdt eclipse-pde eclipse-platform eclipse-rcp
You can also find all packages that start with the name eclipse by using
apt-cache search eclipse | grep ^eclipse
Linux Mint 17,Qiana, with MATE Desktop manager:
bring cursor to 'Menu'.
Left click on "Menu" in the panel.
Slide cursor half way down left side of menu,
Find and click on "Program Manager"
It will ask for your password.
Then, in the search box, you type "java ee eclipse" and it will display 8 different packages, which yo0u can again click on to read the descriptions below, and/or, check mark, to install.
Some have tools, some are servers, sure to please...
The correct package for Java EE is
eclipse-wtp
Whereas "wtp" stands for web tool platform: http://projects.eclipse.org/projects/webtools
Imho you should not use apt to install eclipse, but download it directly from the eclipse website for the following reasons:
At the time of writing the apt eclipse installation is last years release (Luna), though this years release (Mars) has already been around for half a year
Eclipse has its own update tool
There are no dependencies to be fulfilled in the apt package

adding Doxygen plugin to qtcreator in linux

I want to add Doxygen plugin to QtCreator.
I am using QtCreator 2.5.2 in ubuntu 12.10 and the latest Doxygen version for QT is 2.4.0.
I've changed the doxygen.pluginspec file to get rid of version error.
But now I've got another error:
can not load library libdoxygen.so (libQtconcurrent.so can not open shared object file:No such file or directory)
Any suggestion would be appreciated.
I hope you are no longer stuck, but if not, I will still try to help.
Yes, the quick install binaries are available only for QtCreator 2.4, but the plugin stays easy to install without it : you have to download the sources and build them yourself, as written in the wiki.
Moreover, you have to build it with the same version of Qt4 as the one that was used for build your QtCreator (have a look here)
It became compatible with QtCreator 2.7 and Qt5 at the end of March, and I succeeded in installing in in QtCreator2.8-beta.
If you have any other question, I guess it would be better to ask them in the plugin forum where developpers always answer to people in need.
Hope this helps (you and other people in need).
You can install Doxywizard wich provides an user interface to use Doxygen.
I'm not shure I'm using fedora to install I used.
yum install doxygen-doxywizard.x86_64.
For Ubuntu it should be if the package name is the same.
apt-get install doxygen-doxywizard.x86_64
(as root)

Error when installing Google Plugin for Eclipse into /opt on Linux

I'm following the steps to install the GPE 4.2(Juno) located here https://developers.google.com/eclipse/docs/install-eclipse-4.2

I have eclipse installed for java EE (Juno) on a linux 64bit system (Linux Mint 13)
This only occurs when I try to use the instance of eclipse that I have installed under /opt. I installed another instance of eclipse under my home directory and did not experience this problem. I assume there is a path/permission issue that is causing the problem when trying to use the instance installed under /opt.
What should i do to resolve this problem? I'm trying to conform to the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard. I used the instructions posted here to install eclipse http://colinrrobinson.com/technology/install-eclipse-ubuntu/
You need to install your plugins to Eclipse with the proper permissions to access /opt. There are two options:
Start Eclipse with sudo whenever you want to install/update plugins.
Give your user/group write permissions to /opt/
I personally use #2 and don't have any problems with it.
NOTE: This isn't related to google-plugin-for-eclipse, it is just a generic permissions issue with Linux and your Eclipse install dir.
