Introduction of yatta Profiles
It is a tool for managing Eclipse development settings. By using the sharable profile on Profiles Hub of yatta, developers can save lots of time that spend on manually installing all necessary settings.
Install a profile
After launching the Launcher, navigate to Profiles Hub and find the target Profile to edit and install on local PC.
Here I use a simple Profile, which is Java IDE w/ Git, Maven as an example,
Can view what Tools and Plugins will be installed from the list:
After clicking Install, progress can be viewed on the Launcher, also, there might be a License Confirmation dialog that shows up during the process of installation (It takes a while to complete the installation process):
Once the installation is done, there is a dialog for viewing the log file of installation. Besides, a new Profile is created, which can be viewed from Launcher. And the Launcher launches the new Profile automatically as the image below.
However, I notice that all the icons of Eclipse that is launched by the Launcher are too small and can barely to be seen. The solution for solving this issue is here. A brief summary of this solution: To modify the compatibility setting of eclipse.exe, which is under the directory : C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Yatta\Launcher\installations\eclipse-ide-for-java-developers\eclipse.exe
To change the setting as the screenshot below (For Windows 10):
After applying the update and launching Eclipse again using the Launcher, the sizes of all icons are now normal. In addition, you can also find the installed tools and plug-ins of Profile (here, take the Git repository as an example):
Now I have an Eclipse with everything what I need in a few minutes!
