Eclipse installation: Archive Error

Hi,
i wanted to install the Eclipse/Java IDE 4.25, downloaded from here: https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packa … /2022-09/r the x86_64 tar.gz (link: https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/downl … 64.tar.gz) but it's not possible to open this archive with ark: "An error occured while trying to open the archive".
Can anyone here confirm this or help?
Thank you!

Re: Eclipse installation: Archive Error

Your download link does not work. I get this error message:

Eclipse downloads - file unavailable
The selected file is invalid, or it is no longer available for download.
This happens when the file is part of a nightly or development build. If so, please return to the project's home page and download a newer version.

Another point is that the Eclipse .tar.gz files are big ones... maybe ark has problems due to that. Try to use the tar (in a terminal).

Re: Eclipse installation: Archive Error

I'd suggest you install engrampa - it's a much better tool than ark.
Alternatively investigate how to extract a .tar.gz archive via CLI/Konsole.

Thanks men,
the direct link (in panthesis) was ment for identification purpose only - no idea why dl works only directly from the site.
i achieved to unpack the .tar.bz in 2 steps using bunzip and then tar.
Now i wonder if it contains yet a java compolier or if i have to install that seperately

Edit: yes, java is integrated. However, many warnings at startup like

Re: Eclipse installation: Archive Error

Does anyone here utilize eclipse for java or c(++) development?
I had the idea (to try) to investigate (and maybe fix) some issues i found in konqueror.
Is that approach feasible with eclipse ide?

Probably because you are using and old version (2022-09). You can find an up to date version (2024-03) on this page (installer + packages).
No idea for your other questions.
