Man, Eclipse can't pick a versioning scheme :D
Versioning shenanigans should hopefully be fixed now.
Sorry, @appadeia, but version 4.18 will be release in December. The current version (named “2020-09/R”) is 4.17.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eclipse_(software)#Releases
eclipse-java depends on eclipse-common, but it's not set as a dependency.
@appadeia, okay, “2020-09” is the version name but the actual version is 4.17. Still, the “pkgver” of this package should now be 4.17.
The “pkgrel” is only for changes of the buildscript. A new version of the application should bump the “pkgver”. I think version “2020-09” corresponds to 4.17.
But why not use the new versioning scheme for the package version?
@stefan-zobel It seems that it was a mistake. It is fixed it now.
Why did the version drop from 4.16-6 to 4.16-1 ?
Why does this attempt to install every version of eclipse? Especially when the Java and jee versions conflict with each other, it seems like an unnecessary hassle.
DO NOT install this with makepkg
. It will throw an error becasue it will try to install eveything and the java version conflicts with the jee version.
Run makepkg
as you normally do but withouth the -i
parameter. Then install the eclipse common and the desired version with pacman -U
example:
$ makepkg -sc
$ sudo pacman -U eclipse-{common,java}-4.16-6-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
This package provides more than it should in my opinion. It downloads all the variants of eclipse and fails to satisfy dependencies especially eclipse-common. One way I found out to only install the latest version of eclipse java without any hassle is install the chaotic-aur repository. Update the system and now eclipse java will be available in your repositories ready to install without the need to compile. Here is the link to the unofficial user repository I used for this purpose. https://lonewolf.pedrohlc.com/chaotic-aur/

Manual intervention required updating eclipse from * -> 2:4.17-3: remove eclipse-common; the package is no longer needed and will conflict.
