Platform only

I was wondering if it's possible to provide a release with only the base Platform (info/download), thus having a smaller download size and allowing a more customized installation.

Maven .m2 repository

Hi

I already set up my eclipse and don't wanna mess with it, but I have a question.

Maven downloads a bunch of shit to C:\Documents and settings\Ross Kemp\.m2 folder. How did you solve that problem?

Thanks
Ross

You can't with this release. I'll see if I can take the suggestion someone made in another thread to allow users to define custom backup and restore locations..

Easy fix...

Set the UserProfile environment string to the necessary path before launching Eclipse. The runtime should take care of the rest.

C++ libraries

I just installed Eclipse Portable, C/C++ Edition from the link above.

To test it, I created a new "Hello, World!" project.

Unfortunately, it doesn't run. There is a question mark next to #include in the code, meaning Eclipse couldn't find that library.

If you click on the "includes" folder in the Project Explorer, you see that all of the include directories are located on the C: drive:
C:/MinGW/include
C:/MinGW/lib/gcc/mingw32/3.4.5/include

Obviously this won't do for a portable application.

Now open the project's properties, then go to C/C++ Build->Environment. PATH is set to a long string of directories - most of which are in the C: drive. It appears that this was simply taken from the host computer's PATH settings, which I'm not sure you want to do in a portable app.

Furthermore, the relevant directory for MinGW seems to be F:\PortableApps\CommonFiles\MinGW\bin. This directory does NOT exist on the USB drive.

I don't know if this is a problem on your end or on Eclipse's (the latter would not surprise me). But you should either fix it, provide users with a workaround, or at the very least link to more info on Eclipse's site (like you did for PDT).

EDIT: I added a directory on my USB drive that I know has the libraries in it. When I re-started Eclipse, I got this error:
Error launching external scanner info generator (g++ -E -P -v -dD F:/PortableApps/EclipsePortable/Data/workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.cdt.make.core/specs.cpp)

Perhaps this is part of the problem?

Upon startup, Eclipse

Upon startup, Eclipse Portable will look in EclipsePortable.ini to find the location of the C++ compiler. If EclipsePortable.ini does not exist, the launcher will default to [X]:\PortableApps\CommonFiles\MinGW\bin, which is the default location for MinGW Portable. It seems that you don't have MinGW Portable installed, which is causing the problem.

If you would rather use your own C++ compiler (which seems to be your case), copy [X]:\PortableApps\EclipsePortable\Other\Source\EclipsePortable.ini into [X]:\PortableApps\EclipsePortable, so that EclipsePortable.ini and EclipsePortable.exe are in the same directory. Then change the value of "MinGWPath=" in the INI file accordingly.

The Eclipse Portable launcher adds the value ("MinGWPath=") found in its INI file to PATH. It does not remove, or modify anything else that was previously in PATH, which I believe, is the expected behavior. Additionally eclipse.exe will be the only process able to see the new version of PATH, which will contain the location of its portable compiler.

And, I see you're new here, so welcome to PortableApps.com Smile

.ini file

Okay, that all makes sense. I'm not sure why you would want to use the values in the host computer's PATH file in a portable app, but if that's the expected behavior, then of course that's the way you should do it.

I actually have Dev-C++ Portable installed, so I thought I could point Eclipse to Dev-C++'s MinGW location, but it didn't work. I did not do anything with the .ini file, though.

I didn't even know of the existence of MinGW Portable. I'm installing it now. (Maybe I can get Dev-C++ to also point to that directory, so I won't have duplicates...?)

Is there some sort of handbook (online or other) that tells you these sort of details? If not, it might help to put them here.

And, thanks for the welcome. I've actually been using portable apps for years, I just haven't posted here before.

What happened when you tried

What happened when you tried to point Eclipse Portable to Dev-C++'s MinGW location? You have to use relative paths at the moment. Is that the issue?

And the information for which value of EclipsePortable.ini does what is in Other\Source\Readme.txt

Tested C/C++ Edition

Tested C/C++ Edition, guessing the others would show similar results.

PortableApps.com Format validation failed with 4 errors and 5 warnings.

Errors

  • File Other\Source\plugininstaller.ini is missing
  • appinfo.ini: [Details], required value AppID is missing
  • appinfo.ini: [Details], invalid value AppId

Warnings

  • File App\readme.txt is missing
  • File Other\Source\License.txt is missing
  • appinfo.ini: [Details]:Description should be shorter than 227 characters (aim for no more than 150).
  • appinfo.ini: [SpecialPaths]:Plugins should be omitted if set to NONE
  • appinfo.ini: [Dependencies]:UsesDotNetVersion should be omitted if empty

Information

  • The PortableApps.com Launcher is not used. Please consider using it.

Base app is now at 3.7.1

Base app is now at 3.7.1, plus the following two files and their directories were added and left behind:

C:\Users\Ken\AppData\Local\Eclipse\ico_dir\menu132.ico
C:\Users\Ken\AppData\Local\Eclipse\ico_dir\menu133.ico

while the following two were deleted:

C:\Users\Ken\AppData\Local\Eclipse\ico_dir\menu150.ico
C:\Users\Ken\AppData\Local\Eclipse\ico_dir\menu151.ico

(This may have had something to do with being the first run after updating from 3.6 to 3.7)

On the plus side, plugins and plugin installation history was retained through a re-install.

Tested on Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit SP1.

All the errors have been

All the errors have been fixed, except for two things.

  1. I'm not sure why plugininstaller.ini is required
  2. I don't plan on switching to the PortableApps.com Launcher. The app includes some string explosions that the Launcher currently doesn't support, as well as Java path priority, and first run detection. The majority of the code will end up in the custom NSIS file, leaving only a few lines for the actual INI. It's simply easier to maintain without the use of the launcher in this case.

I also added APPDATA redirection, but I've never seen Eclipse create an ico_dir folder before.

Other than that, thanks for testing! This is the best feedback I've received for this app in months. I'm uploading the changes with 3.7.1 which should be up in an hour or so.

No worries, glad to help. I'd love to see this make official status. I'm still waiting for release team site privileges, so thought I'd just find an app I already had installed and run some preliminary tests.

Not quite sure what happened with the ico_dir folder. I had one or two add-ons fail to install, and then I cancelled installation of the same add-ons when I could see they were going to fail again, then had a different add-on install successfully, and as I said, it was the first run after updating from the 3.6 to 3.7 version.

Tried to repeat a similar set of events on a WinXP SP3 computer, but to no avail (although it was on the same install, I haven't tried on a fresh install of 3.7 or on 3.6 upgraded to 3.7).

Can't really test further right now as work's internet has been up for all of 1 out of the last 6 hours, but will do something more with it when I get home.

APPDATA and LOCALAPPDATA

1. Added APPDATA and LOCALAPPDATA redirection

gluxon, if by that change you mean that you modified the appdata and localappdata environment variables you should know that changing those often triggers various bugs like file and folder dialogs not working, this is the reason why this technique isn't used to easily portabilise apps instead using a move-move algorithem with the folders saved in appdata or using a built-in portability option in the application.

Even if Eclipse itself isn't affected, it is a development platform and it can be used to run/debug apps which may be affected from such a change.

Do you have a link where I can read about this issue? I've got MinGW support that modifies Environment Variables as well, should that cause these same bugs?

I added APPDATA and LOCALAPPDATA redirection due to a report about eclipse creating an ico_dir folder in AppData, which I've never heard of.

I was able to find these:
https://portableapps.com/node/21978#comment-137802
https://portableapps.com/node/17637

Actually it's modifying %USERPROFILE% that triggers the dialogs issue but appdata redirection still has many other problems the biggest being that it will affect any program ran from the original program and as Eclipse is a development environment it's likely to do so.

Some environment variables are safe to modify like PATH which you use for MinGW, and some are predefined by Windows and may cause issues when using various WinAPI calls that use them or cause bad behaviour when the change propogates to subproccesses.

ico_dir is used for the Windows 7 taskbar integration it holds the icons used for the jumplist (I guess they needed to store them that way for some reason, most other application seem to just store them in their application directory or in an embedded resoure)
I don't think it's neccessary to save it but just deleting it on exit will also remove a local copy if it exists although it will just as easily be recreated automatically by Eclipse, your call on how to handle this.
I'm sure this isn't the first app that needs to handle such a semi-temporary directory I bet you could find some examples on the best way to handle it and whether a simple delete is enough here.

Thanks, but next time, embed your code in the "pre" tag.

The most notable change you made was line 225, and it took me a while to figure out why.

;Get our workspace
${WordReplace} "$WORKSPACEDOUBLESLASH" "\\" "\" "+" "$WORKSPACE"
${WordReplace} "$WORKSPACE" "$LASTROOTDOUBLESLASH" "$LASTROOT" "+" "$WORKSPACE"
${WordReplace} "$WORKSPACE" "$LASTEXEDIR" "$EXEDIR" "+" "$WORKSPACE"

That second WordReplace is correct. $LASTROOT should indeed replace $LASTROOTDOUBLESLASH, allowing the next line to work as it should.

You're partially right. The original code assumed that the workspace is located within the EclipsePortable folders but that doesn't have to be the case. In fact, my workspace is in my Documents folder. I will revert back to your code but add the line below:

${WordReplace} "$WORKSPACE" "$LASTROOT" "$ROOT" "+" "$WORKSPACE"

I would also say that the other changes are significant for somebody who uses PyDev or likes to keep their folders organized.

Reducing Space Intake [Smallest Eclipse]

...I got Platform from the main site and dropped it with Java Portable on my flash drive thinking it was the only one that could install plugins... it took up 415MB of space(Forgot how much on Disk), I'm trying to use JarPlug.

Where I found out what's the smallest size
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2992749/getting-a-lightweight-install...

A01. I might just install the non-portable Classic to the desktop
A02. Drag & Drop on my USB Stick
A03. Put JRE folder including files in Eclipse Classic
A04. And use it from there if its smaller because it Classic + JRE = a bit over 200MB in size, but on disk...

Questions
B01. Is it possible to get plugins into the Platform Runtime Binary by an external updater? [I just remember its Help > Add Software/Update...Nevermind this question]

Ideas
C01. Choosing the path bin & lib for Java Runtime Enviroment either through a setting file or box where workspace is [Or like when the first pop-up that ask Where to should be Workspace be & Save the last path & add Paths into favourite or Skip step & Never Show-up]
[Why: To use less space on Flash Drive instead of copy files twice that would save 86.9MB, but 122MB on Disk]

I just realize that the Classic 3.7.1 is smaller than Classic Portable 3.3.2 so yeah...with JRE added

Release??

I've been using this since Eclipse 3.6 and have not found any problems. Upgrading to 3.7 and then 3.7.1 preserved my personal plug-ins.

Since the launcher seems to be stable, when will the packages will be promoted out of development?

Not Quite

We've already tried these things with OpenJDK and it seems to work properly. So we will use the Oracle Java JRE with jPortable and the OpenJDK as our JDK for things like Eclipse.

Hi John

so what i am understand from you,
that new apps release depend at OpenJDK release?
there is OpenJDK portable beta release?
I and many many many... many people hops (and long waiting)
for release new apps. I hope you don't lose that momentum.

JDK

The JDK has been tested but not released. Currently, only Eclipse depends on it, nothing else. All Java apps will use jPortable, which is already stable and released. Did you miss the fact that we just released a brand new app (Scribus) and release updates every single day? Knock off the nay-saying, please.

It installs multiple files in different folders under App\Eclipse. If you're trying to isolate them, that will be difficult.

Getting eGIT to work

I am trying to get the Eclipse plugin eGIT to work with EclipsePortable. I would like the .gitconfig and the ssh keys to be stored on the USB drive rather than the Windows user home directory.

When I start eGIT, I get a dialog,

    The environment variable HOME is not set

I've been banging my head against this for a bit, trying to figure out how I could get %HOME% (Or $HOME) set at runtime.

Any ideas?

It's what the error message says

The error message complains about HOME not being set. It then defaults to C:\Users\guest

I guess I should have typed the whole error message to begin with.

The environment variable HOME is not set. The following directory will be used for storing
the Git user configuration and as default repository location: C:\Users\guest.
If this is not correct please set the HOME environment variable and restart Eclipse

It looks like it grabs %USERPROFILE% and sets HOME to that. I would like everything in Eclipse to use the [drive]:\Portable\Documents, instead.

I've been trying to figure out how the launcher code/launcher.ini file works. I can't find EclipsePortable\App\AppInfo\Launcher\ dir to try and modify the .ini

Eclipse Portable doesn't use

Eclipse Portable doesn't use the PortableApps.com Launcher, so the INI isn't used. I've outlined my reasons above if you want to read it.

I've looked at the EGit wiki, and it looks like you have to set a custom HOME variable. The solution for this would have to be to create a custom Eclipse Portable launcher.

Place the following line anywhere before the "Check for Java" launch code in EclipsePortable\Other\Source\EclipsePortable.nsi. You will then have to recompile using Unicode NSIS Portable by dragging EclipsePortable.nsi into the compiler.

System::Call 'Kernel32::SetEnvironmentVariable(t, t) i("HOME", "$WORKSPACEDIRECTORY").r0'

If you didn't follow any of that, please reply on where you had trouble. Sorry for the hassle, but this seems to be the only solution.

I change the source of the launcher for support two things:
1. the search of the java will first go to EclipsePortable\APP\Java
2. will add to path the MSYSPortable bin folder.
can you look at this and compile for me?
i don't know how compile. (although this language was easy to learn and config. I just see how it written and change what i want.)

I will try to explain my logic.

let's say you have 3 portable eclipse in the same portable apps directory, all of them need to use a jdk6 java for compile,and it in commonFile\Java.
and i want to add to this directory 4-th eclipse that use jdk7.
the easy way and the logic way for me, if eclipse has it own jave in self directory at EclipsePortable\APP\Java with jdk7,
it may be unique. only this eclipse will use it own jdk7. if some one did put the java in the EclipsePortable\APP\Java in purpose, it mean he know what he doing. And i think it what he supposed it will happan - that eclipse will look this folder for java first. that what i was suppose will happen.

Tal.

===================
it first will look at EclipsePortable\APP\Java
then CommonFile\Java. it will not remove just change priority.

I successes to compile the code,
there was some error that i fix

I upload the launcher here:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/3363579/EclipsePortable_1.0.4_Lancher.paf.exe
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/3363579/EclipsePortableLancher.7z

it the same one just in two different way. you can download the way you may feel comfortable.

But it not add the \MSYSPortable\App\MSYS\bin to PATH of eclipse like i was expected.
i don't know what i do wrong.
if some one can look at the code and fix, or tell me what to do, i will be happy.

i didn't check the first option, if it really take first from EclipsePortable\APP\Java then CommonFiles.
i will check it soon.

the code in EclipsePortableLancher\other\source.
the place it should be.

thanks for your time

Tal, I'm not going to push these changes. There's no need for MSYS, which is a set of command line tools in an IDE. If you can convince me otherwise, I'll add MSYS integration.

And second, Eclipse Portable should not be looking in App\Java before the predefined JavaPath in the INI.

Quick Thought

Tal raises a good point I hadn't thought of before. What if you WANT to have an app use a specific version of Java? The only way to do that properly is to look in App\Java first. So you could have two Eclipse installs. One using the CommonFiles current Java. The other using a custom one.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

I didn't make myself clear in

I didn't make myself clear in my earlier comment. This was considered back in Eclipse Portable's initial release, but after taking a look right now, I have a bug that prevents this. The details being that Eclipse Portable defaults to JavaPath when no INI exists.

Tal's implementation looks for App\Java before the JavaPath, which it shouldn't be doing. If the user sets a JavaPath value in the INI (when its in the right spot), it should be using that path first.

OK. good point

so can you implement?
1. ini first
2. App\Java 2-th
3. CommonFile 3-th
4. default java

I will try to explain why MSYS later,
i hope you understand my logic.

I Update the file

I Update the file from the previous post
now it supporting two things:
a. Order of take Java:

1. ini first
2. App\Java 2-th
3. CommonFile 3-th
4. default java

b. add MSYSPortable to the path.

my logic of add support MSYSPortable to eclipse portable,
it when you have eclipse cpp and you want to compile a source from external make file. let say you want to compile putty source code.
you need to configure the MSYSPortable, and for beginner programmer it may be confusing or hard.
It very simple to do it for this script, and also if the person dose not
need use MSYSPortable, it will not interfere with his work,
but when he need it, it may be complicated. why not make easy for
the people that want to compile things?
it will be easier when you want to start programming.
If it will be more easy to program, more people will do it,
and more people will join open source project, and it will be a grow,
and make it more quality code.

I hope it will convince you.

I'm all for growing Open Source, but I'm pretty sure MSYS isn't needed for Eclipse CDT compilation. MinGW by itself seems to compile fine. You do need to make a copy of make-mingw32.exe and rename it to make.exe though.

And Also you need a rm

For cleaning the file.
and some of the make file supposed you have the basic set of MSYS.
no one will add make, and rm in the default MinGw.
and you don't just have to download and compile, you need a change things.
it hard to explain every new guy that download it.
why not?

So can you tell me why not?
it is interfere? is it bad that there is the option? it spend more resource?
can you give me reason why not?

when i see it, you see it a nice to have. o.k. ... but it is harmful and
or annoy the guys who dose not use it option?

surly you see the need of MSYS for some of the user, and no interfere for other that don't use. i think it good move to add that option.

It o.k. by me, but i am not the one who make MinGW portable. you can talk with him.

In the meanwhile can you release just a version of the new version launcher for eclipse that i can use? (i didn't successes that MSYSPortable will work with my eclipse)

also are you planing to do next release when eclipse juno will be official?
and what you know about the progress portable jdk or openjdk for eclipse?

Hi farat_as ,
this outdated post.
no one will update this post ever.
but, here the most updated post:
https://portableapps.com/node/32861
but when it update to 4.2 version, it will out-date.
it not program as your request, although it will be nice to see
eclipse 4.2 juno in portable apps format, it only when the programmer have
the time.
second eclipse already fully portable and will not leave any things on your computer (only if you will install plugin that will do, but it third party, and portable eclipse will not able to do it also.)
I hope I help you,
and thank for supporting portable eclipse.
