TUTORIAL: Install Eclipse in FC1

If you remember, you unpacked the Eclipse program into /usr/local/eclipse, but that's not part of your path right now, so you may want to add it to a file called /etc/profile.d/eclipse.sh with the next content:

export ECLIPSE_HOME=/usr/local/eclipse
export PATH=$PATH:$ECLIPSE_HOME

Make it executable and add it to your source:

$ sudo chmod +x /etc/profile.d/eclipse.sh
$ source /etc/profile.d/eclipse.sh

Now you can run eclipse by just sending the command eclipse. All preferences are stored in your ~/.eclipse dir.

Enjoy!!
