It works now. You can also add other locations as well now.

There's another problem as well, those dirs are only available for
installation by root. A workaround is to install it in your private
workspace. Just tried that and it seems to work; there're a few
nuissances with this option, but no showstoppers.
There were two other things I noticed this time.
The first is that every time I start eclipse it seems to want me to
"please wait... completing install". My private install only did this
on first install so this may have to do with permissions as well.
The second is that I noticed the java-plugin depends on kaffe. Does this
mean you managed to get eclipse compiled with kaffe? Or is this just a
depends so there's a jre available for developing against?

Thomas
