Hi Nick Douma, Liam O'Toole and Mathias,
It works by simply extracting the downloaded Eclipse 3.5 binary file
into /usr/local/eclipse-3.5/ directory and then run the eclipse script under
that directory. But I think, the eclipse 3.5 simple installation may depend
on some configurations of my old eclipse 3.2 installation. That is, I may
not un-install eclipse 3.2 while expecting eclipse 3.5 would work properly.
Is that the case ?
Anyway, thank you for all your suggestions.
Regards
Lawrence
