Hi, once again...
I'm taking a Computer Science class in school, and they use Java for
this class. I decided to try using Eclipse, a popular Java IDE,
however, Eclipse appears to be masked (see # emerge --search eclipse
output below). I don't know what to do. Does anyone have any
suggestions?
A bit late perhaps, but I (and several colleagues) use Eclipse on Gentoo
every day at work.
We have all found the best solution is to download from the website and
unpack it. The version in portage is very old (the 3.2 milestones are
stable enough for everyday use) and its easier to manage and install
plugins.
Eclipse is great once you've used it a little (even with our bizarre
homebrew build systems at work) and its windowing toolkit looks far
better than AWT or Swing.
