Eclipse in ubuntu

Eclipse is a multi-language Integrated development environment (IDE) comprising a base workspace and an extensible plug-in system for customizing the environment. It is written mostly in Java. It can be used to develop applications in Java and, by means of various plug-ins, other programming languages including Ada, C, C++, COBOL, Fortran, Haskell, JavaScript, Perl, PHP, Python, R, Ruby (including Ruby on Rails framework), Scala, Clojure, Groovy, Scheme, and Erlang. It can also be used to develop packages for the software Mathematica. Development environments include the Eclipse Java development tools (JDT) for Java and Scala, Eclipse CDT for C/C++ and Eclipse PDT for PHP, among others.

The initial codebase originated from IBM VisualAge.[2] The Eclipse software development kit (SDK), which includes the Java development tools, is meant for Java developers. Users can extend its abilities by installing plug-ins written for the Eclipse Platform, such as development toolkits for other programming languages, and can write and contribute their own plug-in modules.

Released under the terms of the Eclipse Public License, Eclipse SDK is free and open source software (although it is incompatible with the GNU General Public License[3]). It was one of the first IDEs to run under GNU Classpath and it runs without problems under IcedTea.

Ubuntu, here are some steps that help you getting Eclipse working on Ubuntu

1. Install Sun Java JDK

#sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk

2.  Download Eclipse
You can go to official site http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/ and choose your edition,

Save to your Desktop

3. Extract Eclipse
Open Terminal, and execute:

#cd ~/Desktop
#tar xzf eclipse-php-galileo-linux-gtk.tar.gz (replace your downloaded file name here)
#sudo mv eclipse /opt/eclipse
#sudo mv eclipse-galileo.png /opt/eclipse
#cd /opt
#sudo chown -R root:root eclipse
#sudo chmod -R 755 eclipse
#cd /opt/eclipse
#sudo chmod +x eclipse

4. Create a .desktop file to eclipse:

gedit ~/.local/share/applications/opt_eclipse.desktop

Then, paste this inside (dont forget to edit Exec and Icon values):

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=Eclipse
Comment=Eclipse Integrated Development Environment
Icon=** something like /opt/eclipse/icon.xpm **
Exec= ** something like /opt/eclipse/eclipse **
Terminal=false
Categories=Development;IDE;Java;
StartupWMClass=Eclipse

After that, open that folder with nautilus:

nautilus ~/.local/share/applications

If you want to use this launcher outside dash/launcher (ex: as a desktop launcher) you need to add execution permission by right clicking the file and choosing Properties -> Permissions -> Allow execution, or, via the command-line:

chmod +x ~/.local/share/applications/opt_eclipse.desktop

Finally drop opt_eclipse.desktop to launcher.

Android SDK

Android software development is the process by which new applications are created for the Android operating system. Applications are usually developed in the Java programming language using the Android Software Development Kit, but other development tools are available. As of October 2012[update], more than 700,000 applications have been developed for Android, with over 25 billion downloads.[2][3] A June 2011 research indicated that over 67% of mobile developers used the platform, at the time of publication.[4] In Q2 2012; around 105 million units of Android smartphones were shipped which acquires a total share of 68% in overall smartphones sale till Q2 2012.[5]

The ADT Bundle provides everything you need to start developing apps, including a version of the Eclipse IDE with built-in ADT (Android Developer Tools) to streamline your Android app development. If you haven’t already, go download the Android ADT Bundle. (If you downloaded the SDK Tools only, for use with an existing IDE, you should instead read Setting Up an Existing IDE.)

Install the SDK and Eclipse IDE

  1. Unpack the ZIP file (named adt-bundle-<os_platform>.zip) and save it to an appropriate location, such as a “Development” directory in your home directory.
  2. Open the adt-bundle-<os_platform>/eclipse/ directory and launch eclipse.

That’s it! The IDE is already loaded with the Android Developer Tools plugin and the SDK is ready to go. To start developing, read Building Your First App.

Caution: Do not move any of the files or directories from the adt-bundle-<os_platform> directory. If you move the eclipse or sdk directory, ADT will not be able to locate the SDK and you’ll need to manually update the ADT preferences.

Additional information

As you continue developing apps, you may need to install additional versions of Android for the emulator and other packages such as the library for Google Play In-app Billing. To install more packages, use the SDK Manager.

Everything you need to develop Android apps is on this web site, including design guidelines, developer training, API reference, and information about how you can distribute your app. For additional resources about developing and distributing your app, see the Developer Support Resources.

There is a community of open-source enthusiasts that build and share Android-based firmware with a number of customizations and additional features, such as FLAC lossless audio support and the ability to store downloaded applications on the microSD card.[42] This usually involves rooting the device. Rooting allows users root access to the operating system, enabling full control of the phone. In order to use custom firmwares the device’s bootloader must be unlocked. Rooting alone does not allow the flashing of custom firmware. Modified firmwares allow users of older phones to use applications available only on newer releases.[43]

Those firmware packages are updated frequently, incorporate elements of Android functionality that haven’t yet been officially released within a carrier-sanctioned firmware, and tend to have fewer limitations. CyanogenMod and OMFGB are examples of such firmware.

On 24 September 2009, Google issued a cease and desist letter[44] to the modder Cyanogen, citing issues with the re-distribution of Google’s closed-source applications[45] within the custom firmware. Even though most of Android OS is open source, phones come packaged with closed-source Google applications for functionality such as the Android Market and GPS navigation. Google has asserted that these applications can only be provided through approved distribution channels by licensed distributors. Cyanogen has complied with Google’s wishes and is continuing to distribute this mod without the proprietary software. He has provided a method to back up licensed Google applications during the mod’s install process and restore them when it is complete.[46]

The NDK is a toolset that allows you to implement parts of your app using native-code languages such as C and C++. For certain types of apps, this can be helpful so you can reuse existing code libraries written in these languages, but most apps do not need the Android NDK.

Before downloading the NDK, you should understand that the NDK will not benefit most apps. As a developer, you need to balance its benefits against its drawbacks. Notably, using native code on Android generally does not result in a noticable performance improvement, but it always increases your app complexity. In general, you should only use the NDK if it is essential to your app—never because you simply prefer to program in C/C++.

Typical good candidates for the NDK are self-contained, CPU-intensive operations that don’t allocate much memory, such as signal processing, physics simulation, and so on. When examining whether or not you should develop in native code, think about your requirements and see if the Android framework APIs provide the functionality that you need.

MobileGo is a life saver for those who love music and video, text a lot and juggle apps on their Android phones and tablets.

Android Fans:Backup everything to PC with 1 click & retain 100% quality.
Music Lovers:Instantly add fun stuff and enjoy media anytime, anywhere.
App Addicts:Download, install, uninstall and export apps quickly and easily.
Socialites:Transfer contacts from/to Outlook and send & reply SMS seamlessly from your PC.
The Android 3.1 platform (also backported to Android 2.3.4) introduces Android Open Accessory support, which allows external USB hardware (an Android USB accessory) to interact with an Android-powered device in a special “accessory” mode. When an Android-powered device is in accessory mode, the connected accessory acts as the USB host (powers the bus and enumerates devices) and the Android-powered device acts as the USB device. Android USB accessories are specifically designed to attach to Android-powered devices and adhere to a simple protocol (Android accessory protocol) that allows them to detect Android-powered devices that support accessory mode.[22]

Eclipse, herramienta universal – IDE abierto y extensible

Eclipse: una herramienta profesional al alcance de todos Pese a que Eclipse está escrito en su mayor parte en Java (salvo el núcleo) y que su uso más popular sea como un IDE para Java, Eclipse es neutral y adaptable a cualquier tipo de lenguaje, por ejemplo C/C++, Cobol, C#, XML, etc. La característica clave de Eclipse es la extensibilidad. Eclipse es una gran estructura formada por un núcleo y muchos plug-ins que van conformando la funcionalidad final. La forma en que los plug-ins interactúan es mediante interfaces o puntos de extensión; así, las nuevas aportaciones se integran sin dificultad ni conflictos.

Eclipse fue producto de una inversión de cuarenta millones de dólares de IBM en su desarrollo antes de ofrecerlo como un producto de código abierto al consorcio Eclipse.org que estaba compuesto inicialmente por Borland e IBM. IBM sigue dirigiendo el desarrollo de Eclipse a través de su subsidiaria OTI (Object Technologies International), creadora de Eclipse. OTI fue adquirida por IBM en 1996 y se consolidó como gran empresa de desarrollo de herramientas orientadas a objeto (O.O.) desde la popularidad del lenguaje Smalltalk. OTI era la división de IBM en la que se generaron los productos Visual Age, que marcaron el estándar de las herramientas de desarrollo Orientado a objetos. Muchos conceptos pioneros en Smalltalk fueron aplicados en Java, creando Visual Age for Java (VA4J). VA4J fue escrito en Smalltalk. Eclipse es una reescritura de VA4J en Java. La base para Eclipse es la Plataforma de cliente enriquecido (del Inglés Rich Client Platform RCP). Los siguientes componentes constituyen la plataforma de cliente enriquecido:

Plataforma principal – inicio de Eclipse, ejecución de plugins OSGi – una plataforma para integrar distribuciones. El Standard Widget Toolkit (SWT) – Un widget toolkit portable. JFace – manejo de archivos, manejo de texto, editores de texto El Workbench de Eclipse – vistas, editores, perspectivas, asistentes

Los widgets de Eclipse están implementados por un herramienta de widget para Java llamada SWT, a diferencia de la mayoría de las aplicaciones Java, que usan las opciones estándar Abstract Window Toolkit (AWT) o Swing. La interfaz de usuario de Eclipse también tiene una capa GUI intermedia llamada JFace, la cual simplifica la construcción de aplicaciones basada en SWT. El entorno integrado de desarrollo (IDE) de Eclipse emplea módulos (plug-in) para proporcionar toda su funcionalidad al frente de la plataforma de cliente rico, a diferencia de otros entornos monolí­ticos donde las funcionalidades están todas incluidas, las necesite el usuario o no. Este mecanismo de módulos es una plataforma ligera para componentes de software. Se provee soporte para Java y CVS en el SDK de Eclipse. En cuanto a las aplicaciones clientes, eclipse provee al programador con frameworks muy ricos para el desarrollo de aplicaciones gráficas, definición y manipulación de modelos de software, aplicaciones web, etc. Por ejemplo, GEF (Graphic Editing Framework – Framework para la edición gráfica) es un plugin de eclipse para el desarrollo de editores visuales que pueden ir desde procesadores de texto wysiwyg hasta editores de diagramas UML, interfaces gráficas para el usuario (GUI), etc. El SDK de Eclipse incluye las herramientas de desarrollo de Java, ofreciendo un IDE con un compilador de Java interno y un modelo completo de los archivos fuente de Java. Esto permite técnicas avanzadas de refactorización y análisis de código. El IDE también hace uso de un espacio de trabajo, en este caso un grupo de metadata en un espacio para archivos plano, permitiendo modificaciones externas a los archivos en tanto se refresque el espacio de trabajo correspondiente. Núcleo: su tarea es determinar cuales son los plug-ins disponibles en el directorio de plug-ins de Eclipse. Cada plug-in tiene un fichero XML manifest que lista los elementos que necesita de otros plug-ins así­ como los puntos de extensión que ofrece. Como la cantidad de plug-ins puede ser muy grande, solo se cargan los necesarios en el momento de ser utilizados con el objeto de minimizar el tiempo de arranque de Eclipse y recursos. Entorno de trabajo: maneja los recursos del usuario, organizados en uno o más proyectos. Cada proyecto corresponde a un directorio en el directorio de trabajo de Eclipse, y contienen archivos y carpetas. Interfaz de usuario: muestra los menús y herramientas, y se organiza en perspectivas que configuran los editores de código y las vistas. A diferencia de muchas aplicaciones escritas en Java, Eclipse tiene el aspecto y se comporta como una aplicación nativa. Esta programada SWT (Standard Widget Toolkit) y Jface (juego de herramientas construida sobre SWT), que emula los gráficos nativos de cada sistema operativo. Este ha sido un aspecto discutido sobre Eclipse, porque SWT debe ser portada a cada sistema operativo para interactuar con el sistema gráfico. En los proyectos de Java puede usarse AWT y Swing salvo cuando se desarrolle un plug-in para Eclipse. Para descargar Eclipse existen distribuciones con diferentes combinaciones de plug-ins dependiendo del uso que se le quiera dar a la herramienta. Un problema que se presenta con estas distribuciones es que en Windows XP el descompresor integrado a veces falla y es preferible usar un programa externo como 7-zip, WinZIP, o info-zip

Eclipse C/C++ Development Toolkit (CDT)

Eclipse is an Integrated Development Environment or IDE. The Eclipse was originally created by IBM, but the Eclipse Foundation has since taken over direction and development of the project. Eclipse started out as a Java IDE, but has since grown into much more.

C/C++ development with the Eclipse Platform

This article, which is a follow-up to “C/C++ development with the Eclipse Platform,” is intended for C++ developers who want to learn C++ development using the Eclipse CDT. A simple C++ application is developed in the article. The application makes use of the C++ STL. Readers should be familiar with the STL, as well as with basic object-oriented programming principles such as inheritance and polymorphism. A familiarity with Eclipse will be helpful, but is not required.

HOW TO: Use CDT and MinGW for Eclipse (i.e. develop C/C++ applications in windows)

 

 

Paso 1:

Bajar de mingw.org lo siguiente:

Paso 2:

Extraer los archivos al directorio c:mingw y instalar mingw32-make-3.80.0-3.exe en c:mingw.

Paso 3:

Agregar c:mingwbin a la variable de ambiente de sistema Paths. Verificar con el comando gcc -v .

Paso 4:

Descargar Eclipse e instalarlo.

Paso 5:

Instalar C/C++ Development Toolkit (CDT) usando el menú de actualización Help-> Software Updates -> Find and Install -> Search for new Features to Install.

Paso 6:

Crear un proyecto nuevo file->new ->Managed Make C Project.

Paso 7:

 

Agregar el archivo main.cc con el siguiente código (para probar la instalación):

#include
#include
using namespace std;

int main()
{
string yourName;

cout << “Enter your name: “;
cin >> yourName;
cout << “Hello ” + yourName << endl;
return 0;
}
