[…] Depuis le 24/11/2006, je suis un peu en retard , la version 1.2.1 de EasyEclipse est disponible.Cette version est basée sur Eclipse 3.2.Je rappelle, pour ceux qui n’auraient pas lu mon précédent article sur le sujet, que EasyEclipse est un IDE basé sur Eclipse et packagé avec un ensemble de plugins, ce qui rend sont installation très facile et évite les problèmes de dépendance.EasyEclipse est téléchargeable gratuitement sous forme de distribution regroupant un ensemble de plugins que l’on choisira en fonction de ses besoins. Pour ma part j’utilise la distribution EasyEclipse for LAMP qui me permet de développer en Php ou Ruby sous le même environnement. Je rajoute le plugin subclipse qui n’est pas inclus dans cette distribution.Le site officielLa page des distributionsLa page des pluginsJe vous conseille de prendre cette nouvelle version, le démarrage est plus rapide et cela corrige un problème de coloration syntaxique dans les fichiers rhtml.Vous pouvez également lire cet article si vous utilisez EasyEclipse pour développer des applications basées sur Ruby On Rails et souhaitez l’améliorer un peu.

I’m having the mac version. It is impossible to setup Python interpreter and setup paths folders in preference.
Do you get an error message ? If there’s a message saying “The installation path must not contain spaces”, then you hit the bug mentionned in the description of the plugin (see above). The workaround is to rename the application so that its name doesn’t have spaces.
Hi all,
1. How to configure the easyeclipse for LAMPP to debug the PHP files?
2. How to make use of the XAMPP buttons in the tool bar ?
Pl. narrate the details if u don’t mind………
Thanks in advance

There seems to be a problem with the packaging of the windows version of 1.2.1.3. I get an error after the verification stage.
Argh. thank you, good catch. The upload was corrupted. there’s now a new file that fixes it.

Thanks a lot!

I installed EasyEclipse for LAMP 1.2.1.3 for Windows and whenever I try to use Help\Help Contents I get an error 404 message. I can do help searches but if I click on a search result its 404 again.
The internal webserver is online at 127.0.0.1:51852 but all the help files seem to be missing.
Does anyone know how to fix this? I am new to Eclipse and without any help I am totally lost.
Thanks in advance

Just fyi: this weird bug is caused by McAfee Virus Scan. Disable McAfee before starting Eclipse and the help system works fine.
I just downloaded the lamp version. trying ./eclipse gives me:
Error: no `server’ JVM at `/home/elsigh/src/easyeclipse-lamp-1.2.1.3/jre/lib/i386/server/libjvm.so’.
I’m running apache already, is that a problem?
[…] At the begging I’ve used RadRails. It was quite nice, but first I had some problems running it on amd64 (you need to pay attention to java version – 32 bit). Now I have ubuntu 32bit, so then some new problems showed up. First of all I needed some other plugins, like for html, css and so on. So I started to use EasyEclipse LAMP which has everything that I need. But finally I thought it’s to big for me. I’ve used snippets from here and theme form here […]

My log:
Finally making the switch over to Eclipse, and EasyEclipse for LAMP is by far the best choice for a beginner. Although I’d like the ability to add plugins (perhaps through yoxos?), the pre-assembled (and tested) EasyEclipse distros are too good to complain about. One problem I’m having in Mac OS Tiger (10.4.9), though; maybe someone here can help.
When I launch the program and ctrl-click (right-click) on the icon to “Keep in Dock”, the next time I try to run the app from my Dock icon, the OS tries to open one of the Java binaries in Textmate. My workaround is to drag the icon from the Applications folder over to the Dock instead, but this generates another EasyEclipse icon in the dock when run. I’m sure this is related to the manner in which the app is packaged, since regular Eclipse distros install an Eclipse folder in Applications instead of an Eclipse package… Ideas?
That is an interesting point. There are historical Eclipse bugs in that area, as far as I know, but it may be something no our side too. Could you post a bug on http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=131065&atid=719795 ?
Note that you can add plugins by going on the plugins page here.

Hi.
EasyEclipse crashes every time I save a file.
OS: OpenSUSE 10.2.
See this log
why did you choose PHPEclipse over PDT? just curious
Hi,
This looks like a great project — just the sort of thing that I was looking for. I just have a quick question. It basically says that you do not need to download any extra components / 3rd party stuff — does this include the actual languages and webserver or not?
I have a blank machine with just the OS installed (Windows XP) on it — do I need to download and install Apache, PHP, Python, etc.. ahead of time, or is that all included in the EasyEclipse for LAMP installation?
If it is not included, is there anything special that you need to to do when installing each of the above?
Thanks,
Probably the best is to install XAMPP, see on the PHP Eclipse Plugin page. It includes everything you list. You will then find configuration instructions in the plugin page and in the help.

Hey, guys. Where can I d/l v1.3…? The download link is still set to v1.2.2, and Sourceforge is only reporting v1.3 for C/C++ and Java. Yet the changelog above clearly identifies changes in the v1.3 release. So where’s it at? Also, is there an Update Manager site we could be using instead of downloading the full package every time? Thanks…
Sorry, we haven’t released all the distros for 1.3 yet… The website was a little optimistic
, I’ve removed the information that was innacurate. I will work on the new distro and hopefully it’ll be there within a few weeks.
A few weeks is over now
. Any updates? Longing for 1.3 to get pdt 1.0 to work! Thx!
Ditto on this, any word on an ETA for 1.3?
[…] Empezando con Ruby Posted Septiembre 11, 2007 Como les comenté en alguna entrada anterior, estaba intentando instalar Ruby en casa. Bueno, lo que yo quería era poder generar un proyecto de Ruby en el EasyEclipse for LAMP, cosa que hasta ahora no he podido, y para colmo el amigo Google no me pudo brindar una solución. Lo que si pude hacer andar (digamos que no es muy dificil), es el Ruby interpreter. Básicamente es lo que necesitas para que tu PC entienda Ruby. Además trae un editor de texto que te colorea el código y todos esos chiches. […]
[…] If you want one distribution to develop all kind of web applications, there is a ~180MB EasyEclipse for LAMP distribution that includes PHP, Python, Perl as well as Ruby on Rails environments. If you don’t already have a web server/database installed for testing web applications, XAMPP is the easiest way to do so. […]

I am facing a weird problem after installing the latest version of easyeclipse for ruby on rails (infact I tried aptana ide as well w/o luck). It installs fine and I can create a new project and add files. When I try to open a ruby file bigger than about 2 KB using the ruby editor the system hangs forever. The file however can be viewed using other editors even inside eclipse. Seems like a system problem but I am clueless. Any help would be appreciated
