Updating your version of PyDev in Eclipse…
January 4, 2009
So I have hated PyDev as it crashed all the time, but after looking at their website I found out that the version in ubuntu is rather outdated.
Here is how I updated my version, it’s not to hard at all.
First I removed PyDev from my computer with synaptic.
Then use sudo eclipse to run eclipse as root.
Then I went to “Help—>Software Update—>Find and Install…”
From there I select “Search for new features to install…” and click next. (I hate next buttons.)
From there I click on new remote site and enter…
“http://pydev.sourceforge.net/updates/” and give it a name, anything you like.
It then asked to install the software I clicked on what I could, all but one, and it installed.
So far not crashed, but it’s not fully tested yet.
Hopefully this will be a big improvement.
The website for PyDev is…http://pydev.sourceforge.net
Have fun wit’ dat.
