Eclipse '2021-03' IDE Docker Container + OpenJDK Java 11 + Maven 3 + Python 3 + pip 21 + node 16 + npm 7 + Gradle 6 + X11 (Desktop)

  • For any plugin of Eclipse, e.g., BPMN2, etc., you will use Eclipse Marketplace to install once you are inside the Containr's Eclipse -- we are retiring all other specialty versions of Eclipse, e.g., eclipse-uml-docker, etc.

  • NOTE: This docker default is providing latest Eclipse '2021-03' (Latest) instead of Photon, Oxygen and you can change it to build other versions using '.env' file !!!

Components

Run (recommended for easy-start)

Image is pulling from openkbs/eclipse-docker

./run.sh

Build

You can build your own image locally. Note that the default build docker is "latest" version. If you want to build older Eclipse like "photon", "oxygen", you can following instruction in next section

./build.sh

Build (Older Eclipse, e.g. Photon, Oxygen)

Two ways (at least) to build:

Way-1 (Recommended):

If you use command line "'./build.sh'", you can modify "'./.env' (old filename ./.env)" file and then, run "./build.sh" to build image

## -- Eclipse versions: photon, oxygen, etc.: -- ##
ECLIPSE_VERSION=photon
or
ECLIPSE_VERSION=oxygen

Then,

./build.sh

Way-2: (not recommended - to avoid breaking Dockerfile!)

Modify the line in './Dockefile' as below if you use 'docker-compose' or Openshift CI/CD. That is, you are not using command line './build.sh' to build container image.

## -- Eclipse versions: photon, oxygen, etc.: -- ##
ENV ECLIPSE_VERSION=${ECLIPSE_VERSION:-photon}
or
ENV ECLIPSE_VERSION=${ECLIPSE_VERSION:-oxygen}

Then,

docker-compose up -d 

Configurations (Optional - mostly you don't have to do this!)

If you run "./run.sh" instead of "docker-compose up", you don't have to do anything as below.

  • The container uses a default "/workspace" folder.
  • The script "./run.sh" will re-use or create the local folder in your $HOME directory with the path below to map into the docker's internal "/workspace" folder.
$HOME/data_docker/eclipse-docker/workspace

The above configuration will ensure all your projects created in the container's "/workspace" being "persistent" in your local folder, "$HOME/data_docker/eclipse-photon-docker/workspace", for your repetitive restart docker container.

Create Customized Volume Mapping for "docker-compose"

You can create your own customzied host file mapping, e.g.

mkdir -p <my_host_directory>/.eclipse 
mkdir -p <my_host_directory>/eclipse-workspace

Then, run docker-comp

docker-compose up -d

Distributed Storage

This project provides simple host volumes. For using more advanced storage solutions, there are a few distributed cluster storage options available, e.g., Lustre (popular in HPC), GlusterFS, Ceph, etc.
