I look forward to seeing the newer 1.2.5 version of PyDev being incorporated into these. Thanks.
Why plugins can’t find and install updates?
For example, I’ve installed EasyEclipse with python support, with PyDev 1.2.5. I know that 1.2.6 is out and try to update plugin, but update manager finds nothing to update. On neighbor PC plain old eclipse found and installed PyDev 1.2.6 with no problems…
Evgeny:
we made the choice not to support at first the update manager. There are many reasons for that. We are also working on an anlternative to that.
See http://eclipse-wiki.info/UpdateManager for an explanantion.
As well as our FAQ.
The base reason is that when deployed on a large scale (100000 or users) the current update manager has too many issues.
We are also working to have reactive way to publish updated installers very often. We are not yert there :-\
Now as far as Pydev 1.2.6 is concerned, there was a request last week adn I published a preview build here (for windows and linux):
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=131065&package_id=187215&release_id=481359
Help is always welcomed of course: this is not much work to do to support a distro, and make sure it’s plugins are always up to date!
Would you want to work on that?
You mean, you “broke” the update manager? Thats one of the greatest features of Eclipse.. Perhaps I have to install all the thing then on my own.. I also want alway the newest version of PyDev! It makes no sense in working otherwise.
We did not “broke” anything, we just decided NOT to publish an update site becuase of the associated issues it has.
Note that we are not the only one with that opinion, and that a new project has been started at Eclipse to create a new update manager too.
If you always wnat the latest of everything, then install it it on your own. We tend to be a tad conservative with new versions, and err towards stability.
Could you please include PyDev 1.2.6? Thanks.
Version 1.30 will be in the next drop 1.2.2 that we are working on.
Would be nice to see Jython integrated here, since PyDev allows for Jython development aswell.
(Not sure if this is the correct place to report, sorry if it is not.)
I have just tried EasyEclipse for Python v. 1.2.2, but the autocompletion features are so slow I suspect there is something wrong with my installation. If all are turned on, as I type a letter or dot the editor freezes for up to ten seconds before showing suggestions.
My machine is an Intel dual core laptop 2x 1.8 Ghz with 2 GB of Ram and Windows XP Media Center edition up to date. I am using Python 2.5 with installed modules PIL 1.1.6b2, Psyco 1.5.2, PyGame 1.7.1 and Pythonwin 2.10.
No Java SDK nor other Eclipse versions are installed.
Thank you, the best distribution!
I keep getting an error message 1.3.1 I get a JVM terminated exit code=1 error. I’m running a windows machine with the correct specs to run the program but I’m still getting this error? Any suggestions?
