Installing Eclipse using MacPorts - eclipse

I'm learning my way around MacPorts, so I've been trying to use it to install all kinds of things. I noticed it has a port for Eclipse, so I installed it using
sudo port install eclipse-ecj32
And that installed the port and all its dependencies. But I have no clue what to do now! I don't see it installed in my LaunchPad anywhere.
Sooooo... what do I do? How do I make eclipse run?
Thanks!

Eclipse is not available via MacPorts. Likely this is because a native version is available to download for Mac.

Thats not the actual IDE, thats the byte-code compiler... So its not a GUI application, its just a jar of the compiler i believe.

How do I build and install a plugin for KDevelop?

In particular, I am trying to install kdev-control-flow-graph
I have managed to clone the source from git, cmake the source to build a kdevcontrolflowgraphview.so installed to /usr/local/lib, but when I restart kdevelop, I can find no sign of the plugin!
Under the Loaded Plugins window, it doesn't show up, and I can't seem to find a way to tell it about the existence of the new plug-in.
I am running KDevelop Version 4.2.3 using KDE Development Platform 4.7.2 on Ubuntu 11.10 64-bit.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Make sure that "/usr/local/lib" is in your KDEDIRS var, and run "kbuildsyscocoa4 --noincremental"
If that doesn't work, perhaps the plugin's .desktop file needs to have its version modified.
Also note that you aren't running KDE Development Platform 4.7.2 because that doesn't exist (you probably mean KDE 4.7.2), you should be running KDevplatform 1.2.3.

A good Eclipse for PHP in Ubuntu 11.10 tutorial

Well I´m just moving in to Linux, so I´m using Ubuntu, I installed Ubuntu 11.10, so I was wondering if anyone can give me a hand on how to install succesfuly Eclipse to develope in PHP, I used to use Eclipse Helios (Windows 7), but helios is not inside Ubuntu´s repository, so I guess I´ll have to try it manually. Still prefer to download it from repository not so good with command lines.
Anyone knows a good tutorial?, I´m a newbie in linux so please be very descriptive.
This is an older thread so don't know whether this is still helpfull. Why do you need helios? If you go to the help -> install new software in eclipse then select indigo update site end search for pdt (php development kit). Then install and restart afterwards and their you have a php-perspective with pretty much everything you will need.
Welcome to ubuntu. Their forums are very good as well. To get started you should always use Synaptic or Aptitude APT to get and install packages (software) in Ubuntu. That way the system knows and tracks release and upgrade info.
So open Synaptic and search for Eclipse.. Check it "Marked for Installation" and apply it. It will then install the Eclipse distro for your release. From there it is the same as windows in terms of configuring and installing plug-ins, etc.. It will be installed in "Applications -> Programming"
There is also a Software Center in Ubuntu that may also have Eclipse and other dev tools. You may also need to install "server headers" in you Ubuntu environment to get the dev-tools. I am not sure in 11.10

Unable to install Plugins in Eclipse (jpbm)

I have a major problem with installing plugins in eclipse. I'm using ubuntu 10.04 64 bit and I installed:
Eclipse SDK
Version: 3.6.0
Build id: I20100608-0911
(Not by using the apt-get, via apt-get I get galileo, but that version didn't work as well)
The Plugin I want to install is: http://sourceforge.net/projects/jbpm/files/jBPM%203/jbpm-jpdl-3.2.7/ I have to use this plugin because its compatible with alresco (dms)
I tried to install the plugin via dropin and the normal way:
Help->Install new Software-> Add -> Archive -> select the downloaded *.jar.
When I hit OK, I get the following error message:
"Could not find jar:file:/home/xyxyx/jbpm.jar"
I tried to solve it by extracting the jar but no success. Putting the jar into the plugins folder and changing permissions won't help! I also tried different versions of eclipse on several systems. No success!
I have been looking for a solution all day! I tried some advice I found on stackoverflow. I don't use a proxy. I changed the update system to classic! Now I don't know what to do anymore.
Anything special I have to configure before I use eclipse on ubuntu besides installing the JDK?
Try to run the installed using the following command:
java -jar jbpm-installer-3.2.7.jar
On the other hand, you may want to use JBoss IDE which has integrated support for jBPM.

installing glassfish on ubuntu karmic using synaptics package manager

I'm trying to learn to use glassfish for the first time. My IDE is netbeans and I've installed the glassfish plugin for netbeans. I opened up synaptics package manager and typed in glassfish. My choices were
imqv2
glassfish-activaton
glassfish-mail
glassfish-appserv
glassfish-toplink-essentials
glassfish-jmac-api
glassfish-javaee
I'm not sure what is in each package, or which package are needed. I can't seem to find anything that tells me anything descriptive about these packages.
I've seen a lot of tutorials on how to install glassfish, but I'd prefer to use apt-get / synaptics to install glassfish so that syntactics can take care of updating.
To strictly answer your question, I think that a typical install would at least include glassfish-appserv, glassfish-javaee, glassfish-toplink-essentials (for JPA).
But for development, I'd warmly recommend to use GlassFish v3 (because of the session preservation across deployments feature, to maximize productivity) and to install it manually in your home directory. Download the self-extracting installer file from here.
Do you want to run the latest and greatest software? It looks like Synaptic has Glassfish version 2 which is an entire major version out of date.
Just for the record: I love Ubuntu and their (well, Debian's) package management system. However, for any Java applications, I prefer to do manual installations. So, my Maven, Eclipse, Tomcat, Glassfish, etc. were all done through manual installs for the newest version... and because sudo apt-get install winds up throwing the app in some weird place and can have unexpected behavior.
Here is how you can do a manual install...
Download Glassfish: wget http://download.java.net/glassfish/v3/nightly/latest-glassfish.zip
Extract the archive anywhere on your filesystem
Inside your IDE such as Netbeans or Eclipse, setup a new server and point it at where you extracted the file
It's also useful to add a new environment variable to ~/.bashrc file, which will make it easier to start the server from the command-line, e.g. $GLASSFISH_HOME/bin/asadmin start-domain domain1
Another cool thing to try, if you're into maven, is to use the maven-embedded-glassfish-plugin. It's a clean way to get a web app up and running and not need to manually install glassfish and not even have to use an IDE.
You might also try asking this question at superuser.com if you really want to get it working with Synaptic.
i dont know if this here is still open...
but if you know how to handle shell commands on ubuntu then you might find this here helpful:

In Netbeans 6.8 cant find org.netbeans package

I have netbeans 6.8 with java ME platform setup on my ubuntu 9.10.
My code requires the package org.netbeans.microedition.lcdui which is either not installed or not in the path.
Surprising this runs perfectly in netbeans 6.8 on windows on my friend's pc.
Is there any java ME plugin I need to install?
Can somebody help me out with this?
Thanks in advance.
Sounds like netbeans_midp_components_basic.jar is missing from your NB install for some reason.
Try get netbeans_midp_components_basic.jar off your friend's PC (under [NetBeansRoot]/mobility8/modules/ext) and put it in your own install in the same path. Or add it to your project's build path.
If the file netbeans_midp_components_basic.jar is missing, some others might be missing too which will cause problems down the line. So a better way I'd suggest a reinstall, double checking that you get the NB6.8 that's bundled with the mobility pack.
