I'm using Fedora 7 which is installed using a kickstart script. During the installation the package 'eclipse-subclipse' is installed and the Java development related packages. After installation the following eclipse packages are installed : eclipse-rcp eclipse-jdt eclipse-ecj eclipse-cvs-client eclipse-cdt eclipse-subclipse eclipse-changelog eclipse-sdk-nls-nl eclipse-platform However, when I start Eclipse for the first time and I try to create a new project I don't see the options for the SVN-projects or the Java-projects. In the log file eclipse creates there are some exceptions mentioned. This logfile is attached to this report. After trying to remove/add the various eclipse-related packages I found out that the package eclipse-sdk-nls-nl is the cause of these exceptions. If I remove the package and the ~/.eclipse folder both the Java and SVN plugins work as expected. If I re-install the eclipse-sdk-nls-nl package and remove the ~/.eclipse folter the exceptions return.
Created attachment 162050 [details] Eclipse logfile containing some exceptions
Not sure about the errors, but you need to install the JDT to get java development support in eclipse: yum install eclipse-jdt As far as using Subclipse goes, just do "File -> Import -> Other -> Check out project from SVN" Hope this helps, Ben
As you can see in the original report, the package eclipse-jdt was already installed, but wasn't loaded due to the exceptions triggered by the eclipse-sdk-nls-nl package.
Sorry, I misread. Not sure what the problem is then.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 7 is nearing the end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 7. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '7'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 7's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 7 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. If possible, it is recommended that you try the newest available Fedora distribution to see if your bug still exists. Please read the Release Notes for the newest Fedora distribution to make sure it will meet your needs: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/ The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 7 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on June 13, 2008. Fedora 7 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
