FC5 - Eclipse with Sun Java

[Mark Eggers]

Are you using the Eclipse rpm or did you download Eclipse directly from 
www.eclipse.org.

I just tried Eclipse 3.2 downloaded from www.eclipse.org and it started 
just fine.  I have not added all of the modules that I normally run 
(just rebuilding the machine after a disk drive failure), but I don't 
anticipate any problems.

Redhat sometimes makes changes to the packages in order to get them to 
run will in their environment.  I've noticed this in Firefox, some IP 
telephony applications, and in the past the KDE development environment.

You might try installing the tar ball from www.eclipse.org, and then 
using an explicit path to launch that version.  If you have a workspace 
set up already, back it up first and start the downloaded Eclipse 
without a workspace.

I don't know if the downloaded Eclipse will run against the GNU Java.

Hope this helps . . . .

just my two cents
