-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 tags 346364 confirmed patch thanks
The first patch attached to this mail adds the JVM provided by the sun-java6-jre to the search-path under /etc/eclipse/java_home But wouldn't it be better to default to the value provided by /etc/alternatives/java (or at least check if it's available)? This should keep you/us out of trouble and you don't need to maintain a list of JVMs. Alternatively (or additionally) you could also check for the .*.jinfo-file under /usr/lib/jvm/ which should be generated by /usr/sbin/update-java-alternatives (provided by the package java-common). There should be (if a JRE/JDK is installed) a line like > jre java /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java In the attachment you find a patch for /usr/bin/eclipse which adds these two options (but I must admit that I hadn't time to test it). I think it's not quite beautiful and you can shorten it if you try to determine JAVACMD directly because /etc/alternatives and the line from the *.jinfo-file point directly to the executable. In any case it should run without errors (at least it had done so on my bash). In #347254 it is said that this problem is fixed but this bug is open (and I find that justified). So I would suggest to reopen #347254 and mark one of them as the duplicate of the other (or have I misunderstood something in the BTS?). Greetings, Kai P.S.: I've tagged this as "patched", but I haven't tested these patches (particularly the one which alters /usr/bin/eclipse) thoroughly. I hope that's ok, if not, feel free to remove the tag (in this case: sorry for being to fast *g*). - -- Kai Wasserbäch (Kai Wasserbaech) E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jabber (debianforum.de): Drizzt URL: http://wiki.debianforum.de/Drizzt_Do%27Urden GnuPG: 0xE1DE59D2 0600 96CE F3C8 E733 E5B6 1587 A309 D76C E1DE 59D2 (http://pgpkeys.pca.dfn.de/pks/lookup?search=0xE1DE59D2&fingerprint=on&hash=on&op=vindex) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iQGVAwUBRxf7FqMJ12zh3lnSAQo0sgv/TpPnVIehN0HQLwKFyWXpXmGB1/o76VFO lYbf/uo2bFg+1H6TVn3TfWxOWBxRuJIEs7RkWTPUZdgj/RIUZ6Hl3rfMK2C+jg0N Bv4j+U1oraR5+wQM5+VURAAh+hD/Z7AvAivB1JQap/5mMI1GZ72M7dp542R/8VVL MQI5EEtUR5diiE3N4nswSfZthPZsePbsiZQXYugAl60DikpD5W+FNJy5R0jSu0w0 e1D59JuSAq0DuiMEIcZbilJPhRMMjG1wjIiy2BeUVX3UlKRoD/IBPlsDfESUS84O exURS+oXJhwvzY/wJBQaq2XHwCvd3o5VsUw+D23ymrkd6ALKxVCBxec/0BVz+8sH sxFKFmeXvkfCDF3g5uu3dH8eqNlhCej8wS+dC8VjcERl+fKUoYhXHLbbrO2/99ab vN0eg/dwGuNpsPpJZ1L9BrcU5Cvc4DFHcPNlIzq+rzgk75jrZfyk1ndfjuHCNiTr I5HMHh///W7Cdfsllx9wjnwfHmIhlI42 =T7sS -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
