I have binutils 2.16.1cvs20051117-1. I have just performed the following apt-get: $ apt-get install eclipse-jdt-gcj eclipse-pde-gcj eclipse-platform-gcj eclipse-rcp-gcj gcj-4.0 java-gcj-compat The eclipse startup script now says: $ rm -rf ~/.eclipse ~/workspace/; eclipse searching for compatible vm... testing /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj...found before bringing up the same dialogue as it does for kaffe. Here is the log content: !SESSION Sat Nov 26 15:57:22 GMT+10:00 2005 ------------------------------------!ENTRY org.eclipse.core.launcher 4 0 2005-11-26 15:57:22.289 !MESSAGE Exception launching the Eclipse Platform: !STACK java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.eclipse.core.runtime.adaptor.EclipseStarter not found in org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main$StartupClassLoader{urls=[], parent=null} at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(java.lang.String) (/usr/lib/libgcj.so.6.0.0) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(java.lang.String, boolean) (/usr/lib/libgcj.so.6.0.0) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(java.lang.String) (/usr/lib/libgcj.so.6.0.0) at org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main.invokeFramework(java.lang.String[], java.net.URL[]) (/usr/lib/eclipse/plugins.gcj/org.eclipse.platform_3.1.1/startup.jar.so) at org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main.basicRun(java.lang.String[]) (/usr/lib/eclipse/plugins.gcj/org.eclipse.platform_3.1.1/startup.jar.so) at org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main.run(java.lang.String[]) (/usr/lib/eclipse/plugins.gcj/org.eclipse.platform_3.1.1/startup.jar.so) at org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main.main(java.lang.String[]) (/usr/lib/eclipse/plugins.gcj/org.eclipse.platform_3.1.1/startup.jar.so) at gnu.java.lang.MainThread.call_main() (/usr/lib/libgcj.so.6.0.0) at gnu.java.lang.MainThread.run() (/usr/lib/libgcj.so.6.0.0) As you can see the output is consistent with that of kaffe. Is this adaptor.EclipseStarter class something it supposed to be looking for? Which package should it be coming from? Also for the record: I have tried eclipse installs before, both using older debian packages and pulling down my own copy. That copy was installed in /opt/eclipse, but it is possible that some residue of that installation might be influencing the outcome of the packaged install. > Thanks for testing No, thank you for promoting Java on the free desktop :) Eclipse is a vital component of promoting acceptance of the environment. Sorry for the slow turnaround on responding.
