Installation

To install Eclipse on Fedora:

$ dnf install eclipse-jdt

It will add an icon in the desktop’s Favorites.

Starting Eclipse

To start Eclipse, click the Eclipse icon in the desktop’s Favorites or execute the following command:

$ eclipse

It may ask you to select a workspace to store project metadata.

Adding a Java Project

To add the Java project into Eclipse, first clone the project into a local repository, for example:

$ git clone [email protected]:dogtagpki/pki.git

Then execute the following steps:

  • Click File → New → Java Project.

  • Enter the Project name, e.g. pki.

  • Uncheck Use default location.

  • Enter the path to the cloned project repository, e.g. /home/<username>/Projects/pki.

  • Click Finish.

If the project already has the .project and .classpath files in the project’s main folder, the project build path is already set up so Eclipse can build the code automatically, and there should be no errors. The project can be used immediately.

If the project doesn’t have the .project and .classpath files, it may be necessary to configure the project build path manually before the project can be used.
