Thread: Help Installing Eclipse on Ubuntu

hi! (quick link @ question: find out comment to)

updating eclipse version: 3.7.1 download here (the classic one)

gave file name: eclipse-sdk-3.7.1-linux-gtk.tar.gz (which download)

did, did big of google find proper installation.
, have found herethe following steps:

php code:

tar xzf wtp-all-in-one-sdk-1.0-linux-gtk.tar.gz
 sudo mv eclipse /opt/eclipse cd /opt sudo chown -r root:root eclipse
(i didnt move it with this command but the same principle)
 sudo chmod -r +r eclipse
 sudo chmod +x `sudo find eclipse -type d` 


question: sudo chmod +x `sudo find eclipse -type d` (no sure this)

, then:

create eclipse executable in path

code:

sudo touch /usr/bin/eclipse  (question: not sure doing here)   sudo chmod 755 /usr/bin/eclipse   sudoedit /usr/bin/eclipse

sudoedit should have content (question here. have not far)

php code:

#!/bin/sh
 #export mozilla_five_home="/usr/lib/mozilla/"
 export eclipse_home="/opt/eclipse"

 $eclipse_home/eclipse $* 


then create gnome menu item (question right?)

php code:

sudoedit /usr/share/applications/eclipse.desktop 


with contents

php code:

[desktop entry]
 encoding=utf-8
 name=eclipse
 comment=eclipse ide
 exec=eclipse
 icon=/opt/eclipse/icon.xpm
 terminal=false
 type=application
 categories=gnome;application;development;
 startupnotify=true 


and suppose this

php code:

/opt/eclipse/eclipse -clean 


could please comment on steps (looking see if right , possible security risk)?

not sure tough did part think previous pretty normal.

have not done further because go /opt/eclipse/ folder , double click on launcher , start ok far!
