I've installed a clean Karmic Koala amd64. No any JDK installed from synaptic. I've downloaded the JDK from Java.com website and installed it. I've downloaded SpringSource Tool Suite (Eclipse for Spring) and installed it. added the following lines to ~/.bashrc
export JAVA_HOME=~/dev/jre1.6.0_17 export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=true No problem to install new Software. Then I've run the updates manager, installed all the updates and reboot the system and haven't found any problem to install new software from eclipse. So, you can try to install a clean Ubuntu Karmic with no JDK from repositories, and download the jdk from Java.com and eclipse from eclipse.org -- Eclipse crashes on Help -> Install New Software... -> Anything Done Here https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/483882 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
