aronahl/eclipse_j2ee repository overview

⁠eclipse_j2ee

A Docker build of Eclipse for Java 2 EE Developers accessible via xpra⁠.

⁠Features

• The build checks the sha512 signature of the eclipse download to ensure the download mirror hasn't been compromised.
• The eclipse process won't start until an xpra client attaches. This keeps DPI sane, which is especially important if you have a HighDPI monitor.

⁠Recommended Usage

1. Start the container.

   $ docker run --rm -it -p 127.0.0.1:9999:9999 -v eclipse:/opt/eclipse -v ~/workspace:/opt/workspace aronahl/eclipse_j2ee
   

   Copy
   • The eclipse install will be copied to the eclipse volume.
     • If no eclipse volume exists, it will be created and filled with a copy of eclipse from the image.
     • You'll want to keep the eclipse volume around to persist any updates or package installs between runs.
   • The workspace will exist in a local workspace subdir of your home directory.

2. Attach to tcp:localhost:9999 with an xpra client.

⁠Alternative Usage With HTML5 Client
