The plugin works as expected, according to Martin and my own tests. It will automatically pick up a system RXTX if Eclipse finds one.
Unfortunately, Eclipse seems to be hitting a little problem with OpenJDK's extension path: It contains /usr/java/packages/lib/ext - hardcoded into /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/amd64/server/libjvm.so - but that is not used on Debian/Ubuntu. Any Java extensions installed via the package manager are put into /usr/share/java. I don't know if this is intended or not. As a temporary workaround, I found it to be easiest and least intrusive to just symlink RXTXcomm.jar to /usr/java/packages/lib/ext. Perhaps there is a way to smash it into the Eclipse classpath, but I haven't found a proper way to do so. Paste this into your terminal, restart Eclipse and you're good to go: sudo mkdir -p /usr/java/packages/lib/ext sudo ln -s /usr/share/java/RXTXcomm.jar /usr/java/packages/lib/ext/ -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/593172 Title: eclipse crashes on loading on serial terminal To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openjdk-6/+bug/593172/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
