I have followed the instructions from this answer to similar question, but it looks like the installer in sudo mode installs most of plugins to /root/.p2/pool/plugins, so you can't access it in non-sudo mode.

I have copied .p2 folder (/root/.p2) to my install folder (/opt/eclipse/) and changed launcher library path in eclipse.ini file to point to the new location.

Unfortunately, that did not help:

An error has occurred.  See the log file

How to install Eclipse Neon using installer in such a way, that any user on the system can use it?

I'm using Ubuntu 14.04.

  • I tried it with sudo ./eclipse-inst and manually requested the /opt/eclipse directory tree, and although it said it completed, all I found in /opt/eclipse was a tree structure with install logs. It ran a long time for each product (I was trying to install Java, Android, and C++), as if it was getting a lot done, but it didn't actually install. – Steve Oct 26 '16 at 17:43

    OK, I've made progress, I think, based on this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/37864572/using-different-location-for-eclipses-p2-file , which tells me to deselect the "bundle pools" button when installing into /opt/eclipse . My guess is that the installer builds things into /opt/eclipse in a way that doesn't work if you just copy /root/.p2 over. – Steve Oct 26 '16 at 18:28
  • @Steve you've got the answer there, and its still relevant today, maybe you want to post it as an answer? – Mark Ch Dec 09 '20 at 17:19
