I've seen it posted elsewhere, but thought I'd post a topic with a screenshot.



Still playing around with it! Will post more when I transfer a largish project on to it.

Installed by adding the stable Debian repository and sudo apt-get install Eclipse

How does that run on the Eee? Is it very sluggish? Eclipse certainly is a resource hog!

I find eclipse runs well with the eepc (under linux). I run it fullscreen (ie - no top and bottom status bars from the window manager or eclipse to clutter up the display). I also stretch it across two virtual screens in compiz so I can quickly rotate back and forth between multiple edit windows. I'll throw together another youtube video of it working this weekend.

hello zedds,

how much memory does your eeepc have?

[andrewbadera]

Nice. When I get around to creating an XP image for my Eee, I'm going to be giving Visual Studio a try. I'm also curious, how much RAM, zeddz? I have a GB stick waiting to go in, but I've been avoiding voiding the warranty so far ...

I'm also interested in trying to get Mono up and running on the Eee ...

I tried Mono - got monodevelop set up on my Xubuntu install, but it was too slow to be usable and came within 8mb of using up all my (512mb) RAM.

I got Eclipse running in my Eee, and it runs pretty well with some of the basic stuff I have to do for my programming class. We aren't doing anything graphically intensive, or even computationally intensive, but aside from Eclipse being bloated, I haven't really had any issues.

One handy thing you can do to increase space is to hide most of the side menus. You can hide the Project Manager and stuff like in the screenshot, but you can also completely hide the Console tab to only pop up when you run a project that requires it, or you push a small icon. Can't really remember how I did it, but it opens up a LOT of space. You can also hide the icon toolbar, which opens up some more real estate. If you do all that, there's plenty of room to see what you're doing, and its actually pretty comfortable.

Eclipse installation guide available @ http://wiki.eeeuser....install_eclipse

Is there any reason to use the wiki installation procedure over simply apt-get?

I am able to run Java applications via terminal with java, but javac doesn't seem to be installed. I came across several other threads about installing the JDE, but is it necessary to install the enormous file (larger than eclipse) just to compile Java applications?

Also, can anyone recommend a good text editor with text coloring akin to TextMate on the mac.

No, there's no reason to follow the wiki instruction, nor to use apt-get.
Simply download eclipse for linux from www.eclipse.org ( http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/ ), untar and run it. You don't need javac, since Eclipse comes with its own compiler.

Eclipse works well, obviously the screen resolution makes everything harder, but for simple editing is ok.

I've got eclipse to install and run fine, I just have a problem with displaying certain screens. Whenever I want to create a new java class, the screen to name it as well as list interfaces etc., is cut-off at the bottom therefore not letting me see all the options that should be available. Simply moving the screen around doesn't help either. I'm wondering if it is a problem with the screen resolution or something? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That's a general problem with the EEE, I found the same while configuring thunderbird for example.
Unfortunately a lot of programs are not easily usable with a small resolution screen; the only workaround I found is to use an external display and switch to 1024x768.

use control M to give the editor pane max surface.
Is there linux plugin to max the edit pane to full screen ?

Using an eeepc 900 linux in easy mode Got eclipse running by untarring to a directory in My Documents. Can run it right now by using File Manager and double-clicking on eclipse. I am trying to use Launch Tools to put an icon in my Work tab. Can someone help me with what to put on the command line to start eclipse?

[tpdi]

tborja:

eclipse

run in the directory eclipse is in.

[tborja]

Hello,

I had to create a symbolic link and that was what I had to put in the command for Launcher Tools to make it a valid command.
