[eclipse-dev] I just want to run eclipse

[Zoggy <zoggy@xxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I don't know a lot about Java, but I heard that eclipse can be used as an IDE for other languages. So I downloaded and unzipped
eclipse-SDK-M4-linux-gtk.zip
in /tmp.

I also downloaded and installed 
j2sdk-1_4_1_01-linux-i586-rpm.bin
since a JRE is needed.

But when I run /tmp/eclispe/eclipse (being in the /tmp/eclipse directory),
I get the following error message :
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: /tmp/eclipse///startup/jar
        at java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:native)
        at java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:59)

For information, my CLASSPATH is
/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.1_01:/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.1_01/jre/lib:.

I'm no Java programmer and I don't know what to do. I'm a little disappointed to see that to use eclipse as an IDE for, say, C++, I must know about Java stuff.

Can someone help me please ?
