Coding Python (Pydev) on Ubuntu 12.04 with Eclipse Juno

A short blog post. After having installed the latest pydev on the newest eclipse juno, I found that python would not work. All the relevant buttons for python development did not appear, even though the software manager reported that pydev was installed. As such, to get both working correctly I had to do the following:

  1. Following this guide, http://www.vogella.com/articles/Python/article.htmlH as far as installing pydev. However, do not go any further as installing pydev 3.0 didnt seem to work. Niether did it work on Eclipse kepler 4.0.3. A similiar issue was reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19916925/problems-downloading-artifact-error-reading-signed-content
  2. As such, when eclipse is installed, go to help-> install new software. For the source, type: “http://pydev.org/updates”. 
  3. Uncheck “show only the latest versions of available software”. 
  4. Select Pydev for Eclipse version 2.8.2.
  5. Works!
