I have a basic question, what is the latest version of Eclipse that is available for Ubuntu 9.04?
The version that is in the official repositories is 3.2.2,
here's a PPA with version 3.4.1, and there's no reason why you can't download the latest version from eclipse.org if you want.
I want to say 3.2.
I just recently downloaded and installed Eclipse 3.4.2 Ganymede on my Ubuntu 9.04 system.
This is kind of an old article, but it still applies. It goes through installing Ubuntu from eclipse.org
http://flurdy.com/docs/eclipse/install.html
It also talks about installing Tomcat, but you don't need it.
There's usually a fairly recent version of Eclipse in the Ubuntu repositories. But if you want the cutting edge, this question on askubuntu has detailed instructions on how to extract eclipse into a directory (the preferred method on, say, Windows) and how to fix up all the links and shortcuts afterwards.
Personally, I prefer extracting eclipse to a user directory on Ubuntu, and this works fine for Eclipse 3.7.2

How to install Eclipse 4.6 Neon via ppa on Linux Mint 18 x64 and update it with apt-get? Newest one in repository is 3.8. I know, that I can download it from website, but I want it to be automatically updated with system, as everything else.
According to the wiki, you'll need to install Neon using their installer and then follow the in-app upgrade process for later releases. They seem to be touting their installer as they best way to stay up to date at this point.
Source: https://wiki.eclipse.org/FAQ_How_do_I_upgrade_Eclipse_IDE%3F
..to use Eclipse Neon IDE, you have to download a new package or use
the Eclipse IDE Installer from http://eclipse.org/downloads . After
Neon, the usual upgrade process detailed below works.
There doesn't appear to be a repo configured to automatically update using your apt.
Attempting to install Mercurial on Eclipse Java EE IDE Juno from

but,
"Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found. Software being installed: codeBeamer Eclipse Studio (with Mylyn) 3.1.0.v201011161842 (org.codebeamer.eclipse.mylyn_feature.feature.group 3.1.0.v201011161842) Missing requirement: codeBeamer Eclipse Studio (with Mylyn) 3.1.0.v201011161842 (org.codebeamer.eclipse.mylyn_feature.feature.group 3.1.0.v201011161842) requires 'org.eclipse.mylyn_feature.feature.group 3.3.0' but it could not be found
I tried on Windows 7_64 and ubuntu 12.04_64. I even installed mylyn using the latest stable releases from http://download.eclipse.org/mylyn/releases/latest
Any Ideas?
Already browsed web and this site.
You could also try the update URL from the Google Code repository instead, which installs only MercurialEclipse.
+1 to installing from Google Code Repository.
Initially Eclipse wouldn't start because of problems with the older version of the plugin so to get past this simply removed the jar com.vectrace.MercurialEclipse_1.9.1.v201111302231.jar from the Eclipse plugins directory then uninstalled the existing plugin and re-installed from the link in smooth reggae's post.
All seems good so far.
The problem is, that the codeBeamer Eclipse Studio requires an older version of Mylyn (3.3.0), which isn't available for Juno.
But AFAIK you don't need the whole CBES, if you only need the Mercurial features. Try to select only MercurialEclipse, it should also be available in that update site.
I have an existing Eclipse library tool -- quite an old one -- running on Eclipse 3.4, and I would like to add in Aptana Studio. However, the current download specifies that it requires Eclipse 3.5 or better. A colleague of mine has Aptana running in his exactly the same version of the same tool -- presumably he got an older version that would work on the older Eclipse.
Can I download a version of Aptana to plug in to Eclipse 3.4?
Or, if not, can I grab the copy of Aptana from my colleague's machine and drop it into my own Eclipse?
Note that there are specific reasons why I need to use this older version of Eclipse, so replies along the lines of "upgrade your version of Eclipse to 3.5 or later!", while undoubtedly well-intentioned, won't be much use to me....
Edited on November 30: it is Eclipse 3.4 which I have, and I originally put 2.4 by mistake (which doesn't even exist!).
You can grab the Studio's from your colleague's machine. The Studio is pretty much contained to the folder it's installed at (with some minor exception that should not stop you).
No packages are available for 2.x.

Windows 7 64 Bits, Eclipse Indigo, SlickSVN 1.6.17 all installed with path to the libraries entered in windows.
Why do I get the message JAVAHL (JNI) Not available and why does eclipse not load these libraries?
Have you tried installing SilkSVN as suggested on the subclipse official FAQ?
Then on Eclipse/MyEclipse go to Window>Preferences>Team>SVN Change the client to SVNKit v1.XXX.
That did the trick for me.
Did you close down Eclipse before running the SlikSVN 64 bit installation?
I had the same issue initially.
Close Eclipse, rerun the SlikSVN install, choose Repair Installation.
Once complete, open Eclipse, and then you should have the "JavaHL Slik SVN" option under Window/Preferences/team/SVN
I had the same issue. It turns out that the FAQ is helpful indeed, because:
As of the Subclipse 1.8.x releases, native 64-bit Windows binaries are
included with Subclipse so it includes everything you need. For
earlier releases of Subclipse follow these instructions:
If you are using a 32-bit JVM, then Subclipse should just work. If you
use a 64-bit JVM then you need to provide a 64-bit version of JavaHL.
One such distribution is SlikSVN which you can get here:
http://www.sliksvn.com/en/download
With that package installed, Subclipse should find JavaHL on PATH and
just work.
The key here is the PATH variable. In my case I had another svn client installed that came before in the path. When I changed to C:\Program Files\SlikSvn\bin\ be the first folder in the variable, all worked.
Now I can find "JavaHl Slik SVN" under SVN Interface. The solution was to uninstall Subclipse and to reinstall it. When reinstalling Subclipse, I removed the check on "javahl client adapter (required)" (or similar).
1) Uninstall existing subclipse plugin:
Uninstall subclipse
2) Download these three files:
subclipse-4.3.0.zip
subclipse-javahl-1.12.0.zip
subclipse.javahl.update-1.12.0-SNAPSHOT.zip
3) Install them manually one by one by following theses instructions:
http://www.microfocus.co.jp/manuals/ED23/html/GUID-70E8158C-8618-4228-9495-6AFF4CB7E8DB.html
Ω) If not suitable in your case:
Install this: Subversive-4.0.2.I20160902-1700.zip (works with eclipse 2019-06)
In the past I've always downloaded the new version, and then manually reinstalled all of the plugins I use - but this is tedious in the extreme.
Is there a way to upgrade Eclipse "in-place"? How do I do this exactly?
The approach below worked for me, and seems to be the easiest. It's from this eclipse FAQ and slightly modified for clarity:
For upgrading from Eclipse 3.5+ to 3.6+
Help -> Install New Software
Enter the release update site url eg. 'http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo' <- if upgrading from 3.5 or 3.6 (Helios) to 3.7 (Indigo)
Click Add
Click Cancel
Help -> Check for Updates
Note: The original URL has changed. (I've left the original link for posterity)
following the NEW FAQ instructions
Also you may have to remove any incompatible updates plugins before proceeding.
(For Example: JBoss Tools has different versions for Helios and Indigo that are incompatible)
Update: I didn't try this when upgrading from 3.x to 4.x (Juno). I just set up a whole new workspace. I think I read somewhere that doing that is the safest approach to upgrading major versions.
As of 3.7 (Indigo), you may export/import install configurations via the
File > Import/Export > Install menu.
This allows you to install a new release of Eclipse, point it at your
existing workspace, and install your plugins from an older installed
copy.
If you always download all plugins manually and then deploy it by copying to dropins folder, then while migrating to newer version, just need to copy that folder to the new eclipse.
And even not all plugins will support newer version of Eclipse so I guess there is no really easy way available to do the migration.
The answer is, there is none. It's pointless to speculate here as to why the Eclipse community chooses not to make one. They haven't.
