[news.eclipse.newcomer] Re: Eclipse+CDT with FEDORA 2

[stephane.davy@xxxxxxxx (Stéphane Davy)]

My configuration is the following one:

ECLIPSE 3.0.0 from eclipse-SDK-3.0-linux-gtk.zip
CDT 3.0.0 from org.eclipse.cdt-3.0.0-M6-linux.x86.tar.gz
JDK 1.5.0_03 included in FEDORA 2 (location is /usr/java/jre1.5.0_03/bin)

Note that I had to specify it in the PATH, otherwise Eclipse didn't start
at all, weird isn't it ?

When I try to open a C standard or managed project, or when I want to use 
the editor, I get this:

[root@gse-plasmas workspace]# Exception creating editor: Unable to
instantiate editor: org.eclipse.cdt.ui.editor.CEditor
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/eclipse/swt/widgets/LinkException 
creating editor: Editor could not be initialized.

[root@gse-plasmas workspace]# Unhandled event loop exception

Thanks for advices,
