Sure, that's what .pacnew files are for after all. I mainly wanted to provide a fix to anyone who's encountering the same problem. Making you aware was secondary at best, since it's unclear to me what you could reasonably do about it. Maybe some sed magic in an install script, but that might be a bit fragile, too...

altermetax commented on 2021-09-04 20:33 (UTC)

That behavior is because eclipse.ini can be a configuration file and it can be modified by users, so it doesn't get updated if it was modified. See the comments here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/eclipse-jee/

For anyone else who got an error message saying "The Eclipse executable launcher was unable to locate its companion shared library" after updating to version 4.20: When running the eclipse command from the terminal it showed

plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.gtk.linux.x86_64_1.2.0.v20200915-1442: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

That file was still referenced in /usr/lib/eclipse/eclipse.ini. This package currently doesn't update or overwrite that file, but it does put a eclipse.ini.pacnew containing the updated version right next to it. Since I didn't modify the original eclipse.ini, simply replacing it with the provided eclipse.ini.pacnew fixed the issue for me.

If some of you prefer JEE development, I have started aur/eclipse-jee-bin

Eclipse IDE 2021‑06 is available. How can I update eclipse installed by this package to that version?

Removing the "&r=1" will result in a broken PKGBUILD. Try editing the PKGBUILD in a clean directory (that you haven't already run makepkg in) and try to install it using makepkg -si. Removing "&r=1" will cause makepkg to not actually download eclipse, but an html page with a link to download eclipse. As for mirror selection, I believe that's more of a complaint with eclipse's system than with this PKGBUILD. Hardcoding in a Chinese mirror would result in incredibly worse download speeds across the world, and this current setup seems to be the best for most people. If you have a problem with it, you can replace the source link in the PKGBUILD with your preferred mirror.

Well, that's not always true. I am in China and our country have eclipse mirrors. However, the offical download link would redirect to an Japanese mirror, which is pretty slow for us. I believe write a line to delete the "&r=1" at the end of the file name would be great for the people who need to change the download link.

ComicSads commented on 2021-03-22 00:32 (UTC)

Adding &r=1 at the end of the line is required. I should know, about a week ago I broke the PKGBUILD by omitting it. As you can see on the download page for eclipse, leaving out &r=1 will just download the webpage. Also on that page, you can see that there is a link to download from the best mirror, that is where I got the current source link (including &r=1)

Newer version of Eclipse 2021-03 is avaliable. I changed some lines of PKGBUILD to make it able to install:

pkgver=4.19 _releasemonth="2021-03" New 2021-03 sha512 is: 93d04fe9a69120b15d192d2574db4d67f4fc331edcbd1b3f90a5f5bb7434879e0c79cabf9a22976bddf0af2f28206ae838d4f3ec5123e52e278633ccd3489bf1

Also, download the package from a mirror is a good option. It is not required to add '&r=1' at the end of the line. Especially in some places where Global Internet connect is pretty slow.

I did start elcipse after update. I did check update from help menu and PyDev did update correctly but my C++ dev not. And I also missing marketplace client in help menu. Did I miss some info about changes? Is it bug? thanks

[EDIT] I did find solution. I did remove .eclipse directory and configure eclipse from scratch and everything works ok now.
