How do I use Eclipse IDE on the CS machines?
From the Applications menu: Applications –> Development –> Eclipse IDE for Java
If you would like to use the command line to start Eclipse, first add the install directory to your environment path:
module load ide/eclipse/eclipse-java
Then run Eclipse via the command:
eclipse
Eclipse is acting wonky and I am unable to create a new java class in an eclipse project. How can I fix this?
This is usually caused by a corruption in your local Eclipse space. The remedy is to back up your local eclipse settings and relaunch eclipse.
cd
mv .eclipse .eclipse_backup
eclipse
Once the problem goes away don’t forget to remove your .eclipse_backup. Note: You will lose any custom plugins/settings you have currently installed.
