RPM
Eclipse is part of the official repositories:
sudo zypper install eclipse-jdt
for the Java version and
sudo zypper install eclipse-cdt
for C/C++ developers.
Flatpak
It is also available via Flatpak:
sudo zypper install flatpak
Install from the FlatHub repository:
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
flatpak install flathub org.eclipse.Java
Run as a containerized application:
flatpak run org.eclipse.Java
To reference system Java installations the sandboxed applications needs
[Context] filesystems=host-os
- permissions in ~/.local/share/flatpak/overrides/
- JDK is then referenced via e.g. /var/run/host/usr/lib64/jvm/java-11-openjdk-11/
Troubleshooting
If Eclipse doesn't start after an update try
eclipse -clean
which cleans all cached data.
