Hello, I want to use the Google Eclipse plugin for developing appengine stuff in fedora 12 x86_64 kde spin but have encountered serious problems getting this going. The straightforward way, downloading the whole platform from eclipse.org has a rendering bug. In the attached screenshot, the Google repository has been added, the items are there: text shows up when you click in the right areas, but nothing is shown or selectable. There are other weird problems with various controls including buttons and dropdowns. This is with both the latest openjdk and sunjdk. I don't know where in the stack (SWT, GTK, KDE/Qt, X, ATI radeon driver, SELinux?) the problem could be so am not sure where to file a bug report.
With the other way, installing eclipse from fedora repositories via yum, I'm not sure how to add the Google plugin or any of its dependencies.
What is the path of least resistance here?

Try exporting GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=true and re-running. There are some SWT bugs on GTK 2.18. Query for GTK2.18 at bugs.eclipse.org and you'll find a few. We've backported a few fixes and made the above environment variable a default in our Eclipse packages in Fedora 12.

You do it the same way, using the update manager. The only sticking point is that the Galileo repository isn't there by default. It's easy to add, though. Just enter the URL as http://download.eclipse.org/releases/galileo

What dependencies are we missing in Fedora for the Google Plugin? Presumably WTP at least.

Sorry, I don't know anything about said "Google Plugin". I know when people have tried to use the Android stuff in the past they've needed some component of WTP.

Neither do I, and it's not obvious to me from the website[1] how to get the source. Is it open source?
Just had a look back at RHBZ #486369 and it looks like the WTP effort has stalled for now. Just not enough hours in the day. :-(

Yeah, I think you're right. I did get an SVN location set up for collaborative work but I don't think anyone ever committed anything to it :(
