Re: [eclipse-dev] Ubuntu as another linux distro that Eclipse is tested

Have you tried the latest Eclipse?  Also,
don't run that java that comes with the distribution.  Download another
one.

I'm in the process of making a FAQ about
all this.

Subject	[eclipse-dev] Ubuntu as another linux distro that Eclipse is tested        on

hi,
I have been a user of Eclipse (on Windows) since pre1.0 and I am 
constantly amazed by the maturity of the platform and the Java IDE for
the Windows platform. A couple of months ago, I switched to using Ubuntu
(Hardy Heron) as my primary OS. Unfortunately, Eclipse does not seem to
be stable on this OS for some reason. I am not sure whether the cause 
are my other plugins or the core platform itself. With Ubuntu coming on
as a strong choice for newb people like myself who have switched from 
Windows, I would like to make a request that this also be one of the 
platforms that Eclipse is tested on (I see that RHEL and Suse Enterprise
are already on your test OS list). Could you please consider this request?

thanks,
Vijay
