After 15 years, back to (open)SUSE, but, incredible problems. JAVA, how in the name of peace do you install Eclipse? (old version below)

Your output is missing the most important information: the initial command. Please do not redact the terminal in - and output. Always show the complete input and output.What package do you try to install from where?
I can show you a few options for various Java IDE’s on Linux.
(an advantage of having 30+ years Java / C(++) development)
How about we start with this one (that first screenshot shows on my desktop when launched) … the second screenshot is after it has finished loading and I’ve opened the “Settings” menu option.
To launch Eclipse IDE, I go to KDE menu → Development → and click on Eclipse
Are my computer to new?

Tried to install eclipse last time, but, couldn’t get it to work, error message during installation, see top of post, for me it’s hieroglyphics. Another thing, before, 15-25 years ago, you got a bundle with installation CD, it worked fine, but, now it’s via the internet, is anyone testing the function? One is that I can’t start the computer normally, have to go through some kind of recovery mode! So, how many errors are there in the installation?
Now to:
test@leaptest:~> rpm -qi eclipse-jdt
Name : eclipse-jdt
Version : 4.15
after a fourth try it works. (install-remove-install-remove…)
regards
Iam wrong, first try with simple program does not work!!!
I don’t understand why there should be so much hassle these days. The lack of clear and concise instructions is a definite minus.
Using another java IDE, expect a lot of hassle before you get to the end of the road. All work will probably end in a flop.
You may have missed my slightly detailed Reply (#11) - including screenshots. Fire up Discover, click “Install” for Eclipse app … 60 seconds later, you’re running Eclipse
.
Hi, again. downloaded Apache NetBeans, they have a good instruction how to install in openSUSE.
Tested a simple java application, something like that, and it worked.
It works well because I usually write in AWT.
Best regards
