How to install Eclipse J2EE IDE from a tarball?
I have downloaded Eclipse 3.6.1 as a tar.gz file from eclipse site. Then I extract using
cmd: tar -zxvf eclipse-jee-helios-SR1-linux-gtk.tar.gz
after execute this cmd I got eclipse folder in this there is eclipse file. When I double click on this eclipse file I'm getting following error:
Could not display "/media/D-DEVELOPME/eclipse/eclipse".
There is no application installed for executable files
is there any solution for it?
As Marcos Roriz and Thomas Ward said in the comments
That happens because eclipse writes a lot of temp and plugin files and /usr/local is recommended to not allow apps to write (that is only read and execute there)
You may have better luck just saving Eclipse down onto your user directory - it does still operate from the user directory, even though you may want to place it in /usr/ or elsewhere. This is what I do to use it :/
