As part of my job, I'm employed to install and support development tools for the developers in the company.
Eclipse is an IDE that a great deal of developers here use, but I don't actively support. With the huge range of plugins and quick release of new versions - I find it hard to keep on top of and would not be able (obviously) to support everything.
I do have some experience in Eclipse, but as a developer - what would you consider good support from your workplace in terms of Eclipse?
Eclipse - Good IDE for Java It is a powerful tool and Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for the developers / programmers using Java, C and Python. It has a good and modern user interface. It is available to download and use for multiple operating systems. It is open source and free to download and use.
Eclipse 4.23 (2022-03) was released on March 16, 2022. It is the supported release. A Java 11 or newer JRE/JDK is required, LTS release are preferred to run all Eclipse 2022-03 packages based on Eclipse 4.23, with certain packages choosing to provide one by default.
A teamwide install, with a standard set of plugins.
Allow users to install new ones, and suggest new ones to be put into the standard install, but they should be aware that these are not supported.
Your lead developers will also have some idea about what configuration of these plugins will be helpful to be teamwide - e.g.
Both install and plugins can be preprepared and distributed as a big zip file, or a more flexible approach would be to run your own update site internally.
