Building and Installing the Eclipse Plugin

Preparing an Environment

We will assume that our build directory is /build/eclipse. All necessary tools, directories and prerequisite will be place there. Thus, go to this directory first:

mkdir /build/eclipse
cd /build/eclipse

Also create a directory for storing downloaded Maven packages:

mkdir /build/eclipse/repository

Maven

wget https://dlcdn.apache.org/maven/maven-3/3.5.4/binaries/apache-maven-3.5.4-bin.tar.gz
tar -xf apache-maven-3.5.4-bin.tar.gz

JDK

Download and extract JDK 11 to /build/eclipse/jdk-11.0.17.

Eclipse IDE

ℹ️ All builds and mirrors may be found on release's page.
