Eclipse no longer in Tumbleweed?

English Applications

A recent update seems to have removed the eclipse packages from the repo-oss repository? A “zypper dup” is saying the following…

The following product is going to be upgraded:
openSUSE Tumbleweed 20250616-0 → 20250620-0

The following 7 packages are going to be REMOVED:
eclipse-ecf-core eclipse-egit eclipse-emf-core eclipse-equinox-osgi eclipse-jdt eclipse-platform
ovpn-dco-kmp-default-0.2.20241216~git0.a08b2fd_k6.15.2_1-3.10

Has this moved somewhere else, or is eclipse no longer supported in Tumbeweed?

@nick_battle Hi, probably not building and was removed from Tumbleweed…

For example https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/Java:packages/eclipse-ecf is not even built anymore.

Ah, okay thank you. At least it’s official then, rather than being a mistake.

To confirm, I just had confirmation of this from one of the SUSE maintainers:

"It is not supported. The version there was very old and there was no
reasonable way to update it. So, it went :frowning: If I cannot manage to
update, I cannot reasonably hope that I can keep it secure :frowning:

Now, what is remaining, is a eclipse-swt for the packages that use that
toolkit. But eclipse as IDE is out."

@nick_battle use the flatpak version… org.eclipse.Java version 4.34?

Thanks Malcolm, but this may be the final straw I needed to make me sort out VSCode for Java. I’ve been using Eclipse in some form for decades, but… times change (and besides, the project I work on has an LSP server for VSCode, so I should be using that anyway!)
