Installing Java 13 and Eclipse (2019_12_R) (Linux)
For Linux
-
Install Java 13 (OpenJDK 13)
- Access the site https://adoptopenjdk.net/releases.html.
- Under Choose a Version select "OpenJDK 13".
- Under Choose a JVM select "HotSpot".
- Next to Operating System select "Linux".
- Next to Architecture select the one corresponding to your system.
- Click on the link/blue button labeled ".tar.gz", next to "JDK...".
-
Install Eclipse (2019_12_R)
- You can install thee Eclipse version we will use by visiting
the web site Eclipse-2019-12R.
-
You can use the installer option your will find at the top
left of the above web site, however, we have not tested it
in different systems. The steps below are the steps we
have used for several semesters.
- Underneath the left blue box with Eclipse installer options,
you will see the heading "Eclipse IDE 2019-12 R Packages". Under
that heading you will see several Eclipse options. Find
the option "Eclipse IDE for Java Developers" and select
"Linux 64-bit".
Note: if instead of downloading this file, you
use the installer, make sure you run the installer without using sudo or as root; install
it as an ordinary usual user.
- Possible reasons why Eclipse is not working:
- There is a conflict between Java versions; you may want to remove old Java versions.
- If you already have an Eclipse workspace that relied on a different Java / Eclipse version,
you may experience problems; just create a new workspace.
-
Add Required Plugins
You need to add to Eclipse the CS Course Management and
CVS Plugins. These plugins allow you to submit projects.
Miscellaneous
You may want to check the Miscellaneous section at this
point.
Some linux distributions (e.g., Ubuntu) have a package for
Eclipse available via their software installation tool, but
unless it's the version specified above, it is preferable to
install it directly from the Eclipse site.
