I'll be dropping that Blackdown-based java package soon. I was also
experiencing crashes with eclipse which were solved by using Sun's
latest 1.4.2-02 j2sdk.
This time I used Hubert Schmid's excelent mpkg-j2sdk to make a Debian
packaged from Sun's j2sdk-1_4_2_02-linux-i586.bin download, and I adivse
people to do the same.
