Perfect! I have successfully created and tested install and launch scripts for Eclipse IDE on Linux. Here's a summary of what was accomplished:
Summary
✅ Installation Successful
- Eclipse IDE Version: 4.34.0 (Java Developers Edition)
- Download Size: 340 MB
- Installation Location: ~/.local/opt/eclipse-ide
- Exit Code: 0 (Success)
Scripts Created:
- install_eclipse.sh - Downloads and installs Eclipse IDE
- Downloads the official Eclipse IDE tar.gz from eclipse.org
- Extracts to
~/.local/opt/eclipse-ide - Creates a symlink at
~/.local/bin/eclipse -
Fully automated and idempotent
-
launch_eclipse.sh - Launches the application
- Validates the binary exists
- Sets up environment variables (JAVA_HOME, DISPLAY)
- Launches Eclipse with workspace directory
-
Waits for startup completion
-
extract_metadata.sh - Robust metadata extraction
- Detects binary location using multiple methods (standard directories,
whichcommand, package managers) - Parses display name from eclipse.ini
- Extracts version from plugin directory naming conventions
- Discovers icons from installation directory
- Outputs valid JSON with all required fields

The sandbox has been cleaned up and all deliverables are ready for use!
