i finally managed to get everything working as expected (but NOT as 
WHISHED*) except Subversive, which is still poping up the password dialog 
every single time it needs to interact with the repo!!! (so, 2 times each 
plugin-update etc :-((

* Whished was that i unpack the package as root and then i can run it as 
normal user... no way  :-((( even with plain eclipse, no yoxos.

i didn't hit that problem, as far as i remember, but i can tell you what i 
found to be problems:

- the yoxos perspective was not able to use the proxy settings if Eclipse 
starts in that perspective. This means: set your proxy, go to the PDE or 
Resources perspective, restart, switch to yoxos.
This issue should apparently have been fixed in the last yoxos update, i 
was told.

- Unpack the eclipse/yoxos tarball as normal user! If eclipse is not able 
to write in $ECLIPSE/configuration etc you will only have the basic 
features active (Platform/RCP/Help)

- I couldn't get yoxos to automatically offer me to perform the Workspace 
provisioning. I had to go to Help/WS provisioning (or similar) then the 
profiles view, search our profile, select for installation, click on start 
installation -> you are told to restart -> then provisioning starts.

- even if i have enough memory i always have to fine tune the memory 
parameters in eclipse/eclipse.ini .... increasing them a bit more than a 
value also causes problems, it is quite nit-picking. I can send you my 
settings if you wish.

- BTW, make sure you use a new empty workspace.

- you can start eclipse from the command line if you didn't do that 
already, can help to see if there are exceptions etc.

Hope it helps, cheers, Ariel
