STM32CubeIDE Not installed completely on Linux?

I'm migrating from Windows to Linux (Ubuntu 22.04) as my main OS, and I'm setting up the STM32CubeIDE for development.  I noticed that the Linux install of STM32CubeIDE (v2.0.0 downloaded from this site) is missing almost all of the ST specific features that make using the IDE worth it for me.  Is there a reason for this?  Is there a way to install these after the fact?

The ST specific features I'm speaking of are the integration of STM32CubeMX and ability to generate all the initialization code for the various peripherals that I'm looking to use.  

 

Specifically: I'm looking for the Linux install to have an option of File > New > STM32 Project, which then gives me the option to select a board (Nucleo, etc.) or a bare MCU (STM32U575xxx, etc). It then generates a .ioc file and eventually generates the code.

These features have been removed. Use standalone STM32CubeMX instead, or downgrade and miss out on any newly added features.

Ah, gotchya. Thanks for the heads up.  I didn't know that was on the roadmap.

If that's the case, then I'll probably just switch over to the VSCode extensions and ditch Eclipse completely (If everything works as expected).  I hadn't heard about the VSCode extensions until it was mentioned in another discussion about this.

If your issue is now resolved, please mark the solution on the post which provided the answer - not this one!

A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked.A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work.

The oddly named "STM32CubeIDE for Visual Studio Code" is definitely not as seamless as Eclipse-based STM32CubeIDE is currently, but that's where the development focus seems to be.

The best IDE is the one you know how to use.
