Dear SL, Some days back i was trying to update to Eclipse Juno, finally i have done it today. If someone wants to update from the default eclipse helios Be guided as below: (same can be done for eclipse-indigo)
1. Download jre-7u11-linux-x64.rpm 2. install this downloaded java update 3. Download eclipse-SDK-4.2.1-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz (if you are using other architecture choose appropriate tarball from net. The link is for 64 bit system only) 4. Move the above downloaded eclipse tar ball to "/opt/" 5. run terminal 6. while at super-user, change directory to"/opt/" 7. execute "sudo tar xzvf Your downloaded eclipse tar ball" 8.Then execute "sudo gedit /usr/share/applications/eclipse.desktop" 9. In the pop up gedit window replace all the text with below matter and save it. --------------------------------------------------- [Desktop Entry] Name=Eclipse Type=Application Exec=/opt/eclipse/eclipse Terminal=false Icon=/opt/eclipse/icon.xpm Comment=Integrated Development Environment NoDisplay=false Categories=Development;IDE Name[en]=eclipse.desktop ---------------------------------------------------- ======= optional ========= 10. go to - "/usr/share/applications/" where you will find the install program icon by name "eclipse.desktop" 11. you can drag and drop this icon to the dash board for quick launch --- -- Arun Kishore <[email protected]>
