Hi,
I am attempting to install the RCP Developer on my Gentoo system but am having issues. I do not wish to modify my Eclipse install location as root (neither does Gentoo). Instead, I would rather just create an Eclipse extension location since Gentoo protects the emerged install and extentions locations are the perfected installation strategy.
Can I simply un-jar the download in my extension location? The jar has a swt-installer directory so I don't want to mess things up. I could get the zip to I suppose. What do you folks suggest I do?
Anyway, for what it is worth, trying to make the install idiot proof for a product designed for geeks that are writing RCP code doesn't make sense to me. After all, RCP developers SHOULD understand what features and plugins are and where they go in Eclipse!! Thanks in advance for your help
