I just successfully updated our sdc hub to the 2021 newest version and want to update our Eclipses to the 2020 version. Last time I updated our Eclipse to Photon(4.8) I did it through the Admin Console on the Eclipse IDE Package in the Software tab with Eclipse 4.8.0 Standard. Unfortunately even with the newest installer I only see 4.8 as the most current version. Is there a way to have our base Eclipse be a 2020 version?
Hey,
I’m glad to hear you were able to upgrade to the latest version of SDC. Regarding this issue. Could you share a couple of screenshots on how your package looks like under the software tab? Or could you describe the step by step on how you are trying this? Once you promoted your change, are you building installers?
Best Regards

SDC SupportHow I updated our Eclipse Packages last time(from 4.6 neon to 4.8 Photon) was I updated the sdc hub/admin console. I opened the Admin Console, went to the Eclipse IDE Packages on the left, then clicked on my package I wanted to upgrade. On my package page I click the Software tab, then on Eclipse IDE Package Frame I edit the Available package version: and changed it to 4.8 from 4.6, then committed it then promoted it. But on the newest Admin Console there is no version past 4.8. I attached a screenshot
Hey,
What you describe is the right flow to follow. You don’t get the newest versions of Eclipse because you have to install the latest Eclipse Discovery pack. In the following link you can read more about how to install Software Packs: https://www.genuitec.com/docs/sdc/packages/getting-additional-software-packs Once you have installed the Eclipse Discovery Pack version that you would like to upgrade you can follow the same flow you describe. Installing packs can take a good amount of time, since these Software Packs are big files that will be downloaded and installed on your SDC.
Let us know how that works for you.

SDC SupportYes that adds the packs as expected! I was trying to update to 2020-09 Eclipse but run into issues about our java versions. We currently use java 1.8 but it the ide package says it needs java 11. I try the 2020-06 version and it seems to update just fine. Is the 2020-09 version completely incompatible with the older javas or is there a workaround?
Hey,
Yes this Java compatibility issue is a thing of Eclipse itself, the workaround you can have is to also install a Java 11 Software pack (now using openjdk) and add that software to your package definition. This will install also the proper Java version to run the 2020-09 Eclipse.
