it's true. Lauro's way works if you installed eclipse from the tarball just rm /etc/alternatives/java and point it to a jvm 1.5.x version
for ex. sudo rm /etc/alternatives/java sudo ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/jre/bin/java /etc/alternatives/java in this way it works I posted something in italian here http://dventurin.wordpress.com/2007/12/26/bug-eclipse-non-funziona-in-gutsy/ -- Eclipse from repos doesnt work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/152354 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
