Eclipse and Opensuse11.1 & 2

Does anyone have a good How-to for tuturial for setting up eclipse with tomcat plugins for Opensuse 11.1 and/or 11.2. Every tutorial or how to I have found is way out of date. Like for Opensuse 10.3 or another less superior destro like fedora or Ubuntu. Those don’t really work for a clean install of either Opensuse 11.1 or 11.2.

Absolutely no one … ?

Install eclipse with yast

and follow the instructions for the plugin

http://www.eclipsetotale.com/tomcatPlugin.html#A4

there is nothing really suse specific involved in that (except the use of
yast or zypper for general software installation)

If you already tried this give more details what went wrong and I will try
to help you with it.

Now if someone would actually put Eclipse 3.5x in the repo which has been out close to a year…

You install eclipse also directly by downloading from
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads
unpack it to the folder where you want to have it
and start it from there.
eclipse is a relocatable application nothing special is involved for the
installation.

How to get Eclipse 3.4 / JavaEE to run on 11.2 - openSUSE Forums

It doesn’t appear to be as simple as installing eclipse, apache,and tomcat using yast and the plugin.

The only JAVA version in the default repos that ship with 11.2 do not include a package for Sun’s Version. I would need to use SUN’s Version JAVA 5 JDK instead of the default OpenJDK

Of course the repositories contain the sun java packages (but java 6 not the
deprecated java 5)


java-1_6_0-sun
java-1_6_0-sun-devel

If you are not married with eclipse I would recommend you “monodevelop” it comes with the standard suse repository and does not require any special configuration.
On the plus side, it works for quite a few languages; c, c++, pascal and java are but a few that come to my mind.
