Eclipse on Buster - Solutions?

[heymac]

I recently upgraded my Pi 3B to use Buster, but I've been unable to get the Eclipse IDE to work.

It has been suggested on the Java forum to use Code - OSS (headmelted). However on installation and subsequent rollback of the IDE I get the following error message "Unable to start the C/C++ language server. IntelliSense features will be disabled. Error: Missing binary at /home/pi/.vscode-oss/extensions/ms-vscode.cpptools-0.21.0/bin/Microsoft.VSCode.CPP.Extension.linux". From research it appears only an x86 binary exists.

Has anyone managed to get Eclipse working on a Pi 3B and Buster?

I read that prior to posting... It's probably worth adding that the Eclipse IDE is still available to download from the Buster repository and doesn't work for me.

Although Code - OSS (headmelted) is the suggested Java solution - the C/C++ intellisense module is only x86 compatible.

Blame the up stream build. Raspbian follows Debian and they have not pulled it yet

It is not available in Debian Buster:

https://packages.debian.org/stretch/eclipse

Be sure to up your swap file size form 100 to 400 or VSCode will lock up.

Code::Blocks is another alternative, the one in the repo is fairly recent. Very fast too, as it's written in C++.

I con'd a friend of mine into upgrading to Buster and VSCode. He got it done, and just like me, once he got VSCode 1.32 installed and started it VSCode locked up with a blank screen. He increased swap size, still no joy.

When I went through these steps, an after I got the blank screen on 1..32 I ran update and upgrade, and to my surprise there was a 1.37 upgtade to VSCode. I have no idea what I did to my distro file(s) to get this unexpected bonus. Any way I'm now running VSCode 1.37. And other than the obvious performance issue(s) I seem to be running great. However my buddy is not picking up the 1.37 upgrade.

Can anybody tell me what step or config option I left out that's preventing him form picking up the 1.37 upgrade?

Thank you... Which repository? As I can't seem to locate it within my current set-up
