Do not use Eclipse as root for your everyday work.

If you install plugins with Eclipse's plugin manager, you are advised to launch Eclipse as root: this way the plugins will be installed in /usr/lib/eclipse/plugins/ if you installed them as normal user, they would be stored in a version-dependent folder inside ~/.eclipse/, and, after upgrading Eclipse, they would not be recognized any longer.

To check your Eclipse version go to Help > About Eclipse Platform (or any About option available in your installation). You can find sites for recent versions under. If a default site is not available, you can choose Add to add one. The drop-down list for the field labeled as Work with: should list an option named Eclipse Repository with a site that looks like (for example for version 2021-09). To verify or update, go to Help > Install New Software. Recent versions of Eclipse should already have the default update site set properly. Alternatively, you can choose the Eclipse Marketplace or the internal plugin manager.īe sure to verify that the default update site for your version of Eclipse is configured so that plug-in dependencies can be installed automatically. Many plugins are easily installed using pacman (look Eclipse plugin package guidelines for more information). You cannot install several of them at the same time as they conflict, see FS#45577: choose the package above which meets your needs immediately and add support for the additional languages you need through #Plugins.
