docker-eclipse

Eclipse Neon in a Docker container for X11 based graphic systems.

This project is a fork of, and therefore, it's based on, Fabio Rehm eclipse-docker project

Requirements

  • Docker 1.2+ (should work fine on 1.0+ but I haven't tried)
  • An X11 socket

Build the docker image

  ./build.sh

Environment variables

Before starting the eclipse in a docker container, first is it necessary to set the environment variables:

  • ECLIPSE_WORKSPACE: Eclipse workspace path in the host.
  • ECLIPSE_PLUGINS_DIRECTORY: Directory to save the eclipse plugins and configuration. It's the ~/.eclipse directory equivalent in the host.

Starting the dockerized Eclipse

  ./start_eclipse.sh

RHEL, CentOS and Fedora Core users

With this distributions it's necessary to launch the container in priveleged mode, adding privileged: true to the docker-compose.yml file

Help! I started the container but I don't see the Eclipse screen

You might have an issue with the X11 socket permissions since the default user used by the base image has an user and group ids set to 1000, in that case you can run either create your own base image with the appropriate ids or run xhost + on your machine and try again.
