Is it legal to make Eclipse portable (distributing Eclipse with a launcher)? Submitted by Espreon on September 22, 2007 - 2:44pm
Link to the EPL (From Wikipedia): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eclipse_Public_License Im a bit confused, I really wanna make Eclipse Portable (distributing Eclipse with a launcher), if it is illegal to distribute Eclipse with a launcher, I'll just make a launcher for it. ( categories: )

Done
Actually, it's already done. But it won't be released until the way Java works on the PortableApps.com Platform is finalized.
Live with purpose.
Really? I wanted that project! Also I don't think thats really
nescecary since all the comps (I have used quite a few) I have encountered had Java on them. But your the developer so its up to you. Also is the Eclipse in Eclipse portable up2date and comptable with slightly non-portable plugins such as Subclipse.

Well...
For Joe Average, he's probably not going to have Java installed, because usually programs the average user uses doesn't require Java. And public computers are also less likely to have Java.

Wow, I just noticed I still had a signature, that's enough of that.
Exactly
Same reason that I haven't released RSSOwl Portable with a splash yet.
OK, according to TheCounter.com for August, 93% of people have Java enabled, 1% disabled and 5% unknown. I couldn't get stats from NetApplications.com though.

Maybe you should not use Joe
Maybe you should not use Joe Average. The Average PC user is a bit insulted that way. Your Joe Average is a user that is (very) new to computers.
Besides I agree that Java Apps cannot be considered 'Portable'.
But please, no more Joe Average like was used on the forums.
2 things
1. Did you realize that Patrick's comment was from September 2007?
2. I see nothing offensive about using Joe Average to refer to the average user. It's not like he's calling them Captain McSuperNoob or insulting their intelligence at all, just saying they are an average user.

Yeah I noticed it was an old
Yeah I noticed it was an old post after i posted :(
Old resurrected posts confuse me like a Cap SuperNoob!
And the benchmark for Joe Average here seems to refer to a user that is using the PC for the first time...
ah HA!
Hints at a slew of Java apps forthcoming when the Java Portable stuff gets worked out.
Good stuff! I can't wait! :D

ok, I'm confused...
I've searched through the forums and the most recent info I can find about a portable Eclipse is this note that it is ready but waiting for portablized java. I thought that was completed for OpenOffice? So, is there a way to get Eclipse with Java and MinGW/MSYS integrated with PortableApps?
The
Java implementation with the Platform isn't finalized yet...
Somebody give me a portable video editor... Please!

portable Java is possible
portable Java is possible with OpenOffice.org Portable, but since we can't create our own distributable Java Portable yet (still includes a couple closed source components), we havent done much with java based apps.

Eclipse Portable Progress?
I was wondering what the progress was on making a distribution of Eclipse for PortableApps? Any progress on the Java platform?
