How to install eclipse product (without gui, as a service) in arm processor 32 bit based Linux

I am preparing a eclipse product on windows machine. It simply runs as a service without any ui. I have downloded and installed delta pack. I am able to export product for intel processor based linux machine but unable to do so on 32 bit arm processor.

Arm processor based machine has limited memory and no display, I just need to have an executable for ARM architecture for the eclipse product. I tried running the executable product made for linux gtx86 but it did not run on ARM based machine. I tried exporting each plugin as executable jars and using osgi plugin I can have those plugins install and start. But then I do not know as how to make a single entry point (a file which can define the order of installing and starting the jars based upon dependencies).

Kindly help.

I suggest to not use an eclipse product for non UI cases. Take a look at bndtools. It is an eclipse plugin for OSGi development and also provides command line tools. It allows to define a launch config and create a simple runnable jar with all bundles inside. This should make it very easy to install on arm.

Alternatively take a look at Apache Karaf. You can define features for your deployments and start them in the karaf container. Karaf is known to work well on ARM based computers like Raspberry PI. See also my tutorials for karaf.

Both approaches have in common that they do not use the Eclipse PDE (which is a major pain). Instead they use bnd inside the build to create bundles.
