Installation

Note: this guide assumes using Ubuntu (9.10) and PDT 2.1 SR2

• Install Java:
  • sudo aptitude install sun-java6-bin
• Make sure we're using the correct java:
  
  • sudo update-alternatives --config java
• 64-bit users: At the moment we recommend installing a 32-bit Java VM since there's no Eclipse PDT all-in-one package for 64-bit systems.(Spring 2009)
  
  • sudo aptitude install ia32-sun-java6-bin
  • sudo update-alternatives --config java
  • Note that this permanently changes your active Java VM.
  • As an alternative, manually installing everything for your architecture should work too.
• Download from http://download.eclipse.org/tools/pdt/downloads/
• Extract the file to ~/bin/eclipse
• Workaround for Button-Bug
  
  • create file start_eclipse.sh in ~/bin/eclipse
  • insert content in start_elipse.sh:

  • export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1
    ./eclipse

  • make start_eclipse.sh executeable
  • run Eclipse via start_eclipse.sh
• Launch eclipse
• Default workspace: /var/www
• Install svn plugin.
  There are two choices. Subversive lacks a tree based commit dialog which comes very handy.
