Hello Alan, what version of Eclipse do you use ? The version currently in sid seems to be still of 2.x generation. Is it that ? Then uninstall it as quickly as possible and never touch it again ... ;-) ... and go pick one fresh one on eclipse.org, for instance this http://eclipse.objectweb.org/downloads/drops/R-3.0.2-200503110845/eclipse-SDK-3.0.2-linux-gtk.zip unzip it in your *local* *personnal* folder (just forget about a system-wide installation until you are so familiar with eclipse/debian/everything else that you can do it eyes closed) hop ! you have an instantly-working eclipse 3. then, check that it does not come with its own jvm/jre (in subfolders), and if so delete it so as to allow eclipse to really benefit from your freshly-installed 1.5 jsdk. then, plugin installation will be a piece of cake, too have a good trip in eclipse-land :) > > As user alan I selected update manager from the eclipse help/software > updates/updatemanger menu and selected the file on the computer (I have > downloaded it).
