Eclipse Nightlies (Platform I-builds)

Nightly I-builds of the Eclipse Platform are also available as Flatpaks.

$ flatpak remotes -d | grep matbooth
eclipse-nightly  Eclipse Platform Repository  http://eclipse.matbooth.co.uk/flatpak/nightly/repo
$ flatpak remote-delete eclipse-nightly

You can add the Eclipse Nightly repository in one of two ways:

Installing via GNOME Software

On most distros, you can simply download Flatpak repository files and use GNOME Software to open and install them.

If you haven't already done so, first you must download the repository file for Flathub, from which for pre-requisites of Eclipse will be fetched. Then download the Eclipse Nightly repository file. Once installed, you can use GNOME Software to browse all the available Eclipse products in the usual way.

Alternatively, you can download one of the following Flatpak reference files and use GNOME Software to directly install your prefered Eclipse product:

Installing via the Command Line

If you haven't done so already, add the Flathub repository from which pre-requisites of Eclipse will be fetched:

$ flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

And add the Eclipse Nightly repository:

$ flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists eclipse-nightly https://download.eclipse.org/linuxtools/flatpak-I-builds/eclipse.flatpakrepo

Then you can list all the Eclipse products that are available from the repository:

$ flatpak remote-ls eclipse-nightly

And install your favourite Eclipse product by running one of the following:

$ flatpak install eclipse-nightly org.eclipse.Platform
$ flatpak install eclipse-nightly org.eclipse.Sdk

For more information about using Flatpak from the command line, see the documentation.
