>> yes! one version back from latest upstream, but yes, it's there: cheers, great news >> you don't need the hook if you don't use sun java. and installing eclipse will install openjdk because that is one of its dependencies. so just add eclipse to your packages list and you should be fine. e

Thanks for the info Ben. So I guess i'll have to wait for Squeeze to be released in order to make things simpler. Another way I was thinking about was to use vim only without any GUI since the nxjc and java installers need to GUI to install and work, so that can be done using the Live interactive
