1. Move the package to /opt/ folder.

# sudo mveclipse-SDK-4.2.1-linux-gtk.tar.gz /opt/

2. Use the command line to extract the tar.gzpackage.

# cd /opt/
# sudo tar xzvfeclipse-SDK-4.2.1-linux-gtk.tar.gz

3.Create a desktop file and place it into/usr/share/applications

# sudo gedit/usr/share/applications/eclipse.desktop

Copy the following to the eclipse.desktop file

[Desktop Entry]
Name=eclipse
Type=Application
Exec=bash -i -c /opt/eclipse/eclipse
Icon=/opt/eclipse/icon.xpm
Terminal=false

Note:Do replace “/opt/eclipse/”with your Eclipse path. “bash-i -c /opt/eclipse/eclipse”is to source ROS and start your IDE, then your IDE will run with ROSenvironment.

Save the file, and grant it with:

sudo chmod 777 eclipse.desktop

Open the dash (Alt+F2), and search “eclipse”from it, you can see your Eclipse now:

2.Creating Eclipse project files

Go to your catkin workspace directory and runcatkin_make with options to generate Eclipse project files:(Importantfor Debug and Run)

cd ~/catkin_ws
catkin_make --force-cmake -G"Eclipse CDT4 - Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DCMAKE_ECLIPSE_MAKE_ARGUMENTS=-j8 .

catkin_make command will make cmake to generate severalEclipse files in the build/ folder, with these files you canimport the catkin project into Eclipse IDE.

3. Importing the project into Eclipse

Start Eclipse from your Eclipse launcher, selectFile --> Import --> Existingprojects into workspace, hit next, then browse for yourcatkin_ws directory (just select workspacedirectory). Do NOT select Copy projects intoworkspace. Then finish.

If you haven't created any package, you may followWritinga Publisher/Subscriber (C++) to create apackage with source files before we test our environment.

our project construction may be looked like this,the [Source directory] contains your source code,you may edit the code under this directory later.

You can build your project inside Eclipse withCtrl+B.

This for

• In Eclipse, rightclick the project, click properties -> C/C++ general ->Preprocessor Include Paths, Macros etc. Click the tab "Providers"and check the box next to "CDT GCC Built-in Compiler Settings [Shared ]".

• Afterwards, right click the project, selectIndex -> Rebuild. This will rebuild your index. Once this isdone, usually all includes will resolve.
