A little utility for macOS that adds a Open Workspace menu entry which when activated opens the selected workspace in a new Eclipse instance. In addition Eclipse instance icons get a badge with the workspace name. This can be set in Preferences > General > Workspace. If unspecified the last segment of the workspace path will be used.

Note that OS X 10.6 or newer is required as this feature relies on the open command's ability to pass on arguments. Eclipse IDE 3.7+ and Java 1.7 or better is also required.

The Eclipse Platform, and all the tools needed to develop and debug it: Java and Plug-in Development Tooling, Git and CVS support, including source and developer documentation. Click here to file a bug against Eclipse Platform.

Unsuccessful Installs in the last 7 Days: 0

These are instructions for running the OSGi implementation of Kepler on Mac OSX. This implementation is still very much a work in progress and should only be used by Core developers for now.

This was experimental work for evaluating OSGi and no longer applies.

Download the Launcher

Download the Mac OSX launcher and unpack it.

Note: change '~' in all of the following examples to any directory you'd like.

Download the External Jar Bundles

Export the external jar bundles using SVN.

move or copy all of the jars from the external directory to the plugins directory.

Download the kepler.kernel Jar Bundle

Download the kepler.kernel bundle and place it in the plugins directory along side all of the external bundles.

Unpack the kepler.kernel bundle to your .kepler/kepler.kernel.resources directory. (This is an ugly kludge to get around reading resources from the bundle - see Steps to OSGi conversion)

Launching Kepler

From the command line: change directory to mac_osgi and run the kepler executable there

Or from the Finder you can double click on Eclipse.app

Notes:

useful command line switches

-clean (this will rebuild the Equinox cache on startup - without this switch the cache is used to start Kepler)

-consoleLog (with an upper case L - this will display console messages as the framework starts, otherwise you will find timestamped .log files in the configuration directory)

-console (this will bring up the OSGi console (if you don't see it at first press enter) type help to get a list of commands you can run there while Kepler is running - the 'ss' command will let you see the state of all the bundles)

for more switches.

Configuration for the launcher is found in the following two files

mac_osgi/configuration/config.ini

Eclipse Kepler Java 8

mac_osgi/Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS/eclipse.ini

Disclaimer:

If these instructions aren't working out of the box, try messing around with kepler.kernel.resources/kar/actors

deleting or adding kars

Note: this may not work with the current HEAD if new jars have been added there and have not been added to the external directory (this is the case at the moment). Try an earlier revision from maybe September 3rdish in the meantime.
