Hi I think this might be a bug in openjdk6 [1]. Do you both have openjdk installed and is it used to run eclipse (check your alternative settings for /usr/bin/java)? Also, can you reproduce this issue with another java e.g. gcj[2] or sun-java6? Remember to update your alternatives or start eclipse using the specific JVM - see "man eclipse" for more info on how to start eclipse with a specific JVM.
~Niels [1] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=573742 [2] Please note gcj is probably not a good long term choice as JVM for eclipse. There has been a lot of issues running eclipse with gcj in the past. ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #573742 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=573742 -- eclipse unable to 'install new software' https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/541482 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
