-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hello, I would like to deploy a customized Eclipse development environment on Debian Etch/Lenny. The method should also work for Eclipse RCP-Apps, SWT-Apps and pure Java applications with Swing/AWT.
I saw following issues: *) adding a menu icon Entry into /usr/share/menu & /usr/share/applications *) the right place in the file system In the past I installed eclipse in my home directory, in /opt or in /usr/local. As a deb-package I will take following structure: - Application into /usr/share/<myeclipseappfolder> - Starter in /usr/bin/<myeclipsename> - Docs (changelog, readme,copyright,..) into /usr/share/doc/<myeclipseappfolder> - Icons into /usr/share/pixmaps/<<myeclipsename>.png, /usr/share/pixmaps/<<myeclipsename>.xpm - Possible an entry into /usr/share/man/man1/<myeclipseappfolder> Ok? *) Java Environment The application should work independent from the system properties. So the JRE (e.g. OpenJDK) could be an part of the application or better I add an dependency to e.g. OpenJDK and the starter in /usr/bin/<..> use OpenJDK directly if JAVA_HOME is unset. Ok? As maintainer I will only guarantee that my application run with my selected VM. Later I will add an /etc-entry to select the VM for advanced user (e.g. system default VM, openjdk and so on). *) Eclipse(OSGi) specific storage in e.g. ~/.eclipse/<myappname> Is it enough to add an menu entry to clean the user specific data in ~/.eclipse/<myappname>? The idea behind is to reset the application to default settings without knowing of e.g. ~/.eclipse/<myappname>. What is your strategy? What is your method to bring Eclipse-RCP-, SWT- and Swing-Application to Debian? Any feedback are welcome!
