My Chromebook is a Samsung Chromebook, and it uses an ARM microcontroller unit. I've installed the Eclipse platform from the Ubuntu 12.04, "Precise" repository. The Eclipse Platform edition available via "Precise" is at version 3.7.2, i.e Indigo.
In the interest of disambiguation, I've found a convenient table of version number/name pairs, at the Eclipse (software) page at Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia. With reference denoted directly to that resource, for the following direct copy of that table, here is the version/names table, "to date".
| Version Name | Date | Platform version | Projects |
|---|---|---|---|
| N/A | 21 June 2004 | 3.0[14] | |
| N/A | 28 June 2005 | 3.1 | |
| Callisto | 30 June 2006 | 3.2 | Callisto projects[15] |
| Europa | 29 June 2007 | 3.3 | Europa projects[16] |
| Ganymede | 25 June 2008 | 3.4 | Ganymede projects[17] |
| Galileo | 24 June 2009 | 3.5 | Galileo projects[18] |
| Helios | 23 June 2010 | 3.6 | Helios projects[19] |
| Indigo | 22 June 2011 | 3.7 | Indigo projects[20] |
| Juno | 27 June 2012 | 3.8 and 4.2[21] | Juno projects[24] |
| Kepler | 26 June 2013 | 4.3 | Kepler projects[25] |
| Luna | 25 June 2014 (planned) | 4.4 | Luna projects[26] |
| Mars | 24 June 2015 (planned) | 4.5 | Mars projects[27] |
The formatting and footnotes from the original Wikipedia article are preserved, here, respectively in the interests of brevity and informativeness.
The Ubuntu Debian source package for the Eclipse platform is eclipse. The source package is currently available at Eclipse Platform version 3.8, i.e Juno
I'm not sure why theUbnut Ubuntu eclipse package is not keeping up with Eclipse IDE platforms releases. Kepler would be the preferred edition, certainly.
So, alternately, I can try to open up such a proverbial can of worms as would entail compiling Eclipse 4.3 "From scratch." For some reason, I'm unable to download an edition compiled for Linux ARM, if directly from Eclipse.org, and the edition at Ubuntu.com is not "Up to latest" The Ubuntu edition does, however, match the version of the edition available via the Debian eclipse source package , currently available at 3.8.1-5.1 in Debian Jessie and the "continuous" Sid edition.
Presently, I think I'll just rely on the IDE's built-in package upgrades system. If there have been any changes in the SWT binding or the JVM interface since Eclipse Platform 3.7, then in a word, "Darn," those won't be available on my Chromebook, unless I can figure out how to compile Eclipse 4.3 directly from source, either on my Chromebook, or (more complex) on another platform, with cross-compile.
I think I'll just use the built-in Eclipse plugin uprgades feature, "for now", and so inasmuch I'll have to use the Indigo edition of the Eclipse Papryus plugins. "Good times...."
