unable to install Lombok

[alculete]

Unable to install Lombok or any other plugin not in the store through Help > Install New Software.
It finished installing, but after that, it restarted, and nothing was installed. This might be related to eclipse.ini not being writable.

What is added to the eclipse.ini on a tarball installation?

[alculete]

it adds a javaagent at the end of the file. if there is no write permission you can´t change the file maybe eclipse.ini could be put on a different location, maybe on ~/snap/eclipse. This is done when you install the addon. In this case the Lombok addon, but I think it might work the same way as other addons installed through Install new Software.

Does it work when you manually modify according to:

eclipse-ide-snap/snap/local/wrappers/eclipse

Line 7 in ab8bc96

echo "To override eclipse.ini, copy the default file to '$SNAP_USER_DATA/eclipse.ini' and modify to suit."

[alculete]

Yes, it does. Can´t eclipse.ini be changed from 'eclipse.ini': 'usr/lib/eclipse/eclipse.ini' to 'eclipse.ini': 'home/user/snap/eclipse/eclipse.ini' where it could be written. Sorry if this doesn't make sense or it is impossible to be done, I have never packed a snap before

[Mailaender]

Try changing $ECLIPSE_HOME/eclipse.ini as suggested in https://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse.ini See https://github.com/eclipse-linuxtools/eclipse-ide-snap#development on how to build snaps locally. You might need to snapcraft clean to force a fresh file system for the package build.

[alculete]

ok Will try and revert. Also, a reminder that eclipse 2024-12 nog running

[Mailaender]

#5 seems to be a you problem. Maybe because you are manually controlling revisions that disabled the automatic update.

[alculete]

I downgraded it because it updated automatically and stopped working. Purging solved the issue

[alculete]

Hi @Mailaender I know what caused the issue. When the IDE is updated the eclipse.ini on /home/user/snap/... is not updated and the plugins listed there became outdated comparing to the one int he original eclipse.ini. One disadvantage of overriding the default eclipse.ini.

[Mailaender]

It is definitely not an optimal solution to the read-only file system problem that was inherited from @snapcrafters as stated in snapcrafters/eclipse#74 and projectlombok/lombok#2720 but I don't have a better solution at hand.

[alculete]

The first link you provided was an issue I reported. I again with 2024-12 it is not working.
Unfortunately, I will have to refactor and manually add the boilerplate code to my code or move the compressed file

[alculete]

Any progress in this?

[Mailaender]

No. Maybe this is even hitting a fundamental limitation of sandboxing and atomic updates. I created https://mpr.makedeb.org/packages/eclipse-rcp-bin as an alternative without snap.
