Running Eclipse 3.4 on Debian Linux

by Newbie on May.19, 2009, under Debian, Java

Eclipse is my favorite IDE, I use in almost my project. Installing Eclipse is easy. We just need  JDK installed in our PC. In Debian repository there are Eclipse 3.2, to get the newest version download from Eclipse site.

First we need to install JDK

# apt-get install sun-java6-jdk

When download finishes, we’ll uncompress the archive. Here I suppose that archive is saved in user’s home directory. If file name changed since moment of writing, modify command line accordingly.

tar -xzvf eclipse-jee-ganymede-SR2-linux-gtk.tar.gz

This will create directory /home/[USER_NAME]/eclipse

switch to the eclipse directory:

cd ~/eclipse

and start eclipse:

./eclipse

Java “Hello World!’ in Linux

by Newbie on May.17, 2009, under Java SE

Some are surprisingly complex, especially in some graphical user interface (GUI) contexts, but most are very simple, especially those which rely heavily on a particular command line interpreter (”shell”) to perform the actual output.

Wine, “Wine is Not Emulator”

by Newbie on May.17, 2009, under Debian

Wine is a translation layer (a program loader) capable of running Windows applications on Linux and other POSIX compatible operating systems. Windows programs running in Wine act as native programs would, running without the performance or memory usage penalties of an emulator, with a similar look and feel to other applications on your desktop(WineHQ Website).

To install wine “apt-get install wine”

By default the virtual Windows drive created by Wine, at ~/.wine/drive_c.
