where is my eclipse executable

Post by pdk » 2017/07/20 10:28:55

Hi All,

I am just user level expert in centos VMS which was already installed in my windows machine by some geek. They had also installed the eclipse.
Now my eclipse indexer is very slow and very difficult to navigate. After some break at work, i feel i need to fix this as searching through the entire project takes time.
So I googled and found running eclipse command line like "eclipse -refresh -clean" may help.
I used to click on icon to start my eclipse. Now trying to search for eclipse bin file, I donot see them anywhere !
I did find . -name "eclipse" -print
and following displayed.

./root/eclipse
./root/eclipse/eclipse-juno-sr1/eclipse
./root/eclipse/eclipse-juno-sr1/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/234/0/.cp/org/eclipse
./root/eclipse/eclipse-juno-sr1/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/232/0/.cp/org/eclipse
./root/eclipse/eclipse-juno-sr1/plugins/org.eclipse.cdt.debug.application_1.1.0.201506070905/org/eclipse
./usr/share/sgml/docbook/xsl-stylesheets-1.75.2/eclipse
./usr/bin/eclipse

Then I do,
[root@localhost /]# ls -l ./usr/bin/eclipse
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Jul 3 2015 ./usr/bin/eclipse -> /opt/eclipse/eclipse

Then finally to check what is there in the softlink:
[root@localhost /]# ls -l /opt
total 12
drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 Oct 26 2012 VBoxGuestAdditions-4.2.0
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 May 11 2016 centos
drwxr-xr-x. 3 root root 4096 May 11 2016 rh

where is my eclipse binary gone. Iam sorry, I have become more rusty after the break. Please some experts help to resolve my eclipse indexing issue please

I don't know about indexing issues, but if you right click the Eclipse icon you have, you can examine its properties to see which binary it is pointing to.
