eclipse on debian sarge
I'm wondering if anyone is using eclipse on Debian Sarge?
I am trying to get into Java web development, but I find no information
on properly getting eclipse installed and running on Sarge. I found an
article about installing it on Woody[1], but the author had to jump
through hoops to get things working there. It seems that you could
download eclipse 3 web tools [2] from eclipse.org, but I have not yet
figured out exactly what I need to do in order to ensure that I have met
the requirements, that I have the right pieces. I would rather install
it using apt if possible b/c then the maintenance, dependencies and
upgrade is so much easier.
Searching debian.org, seems to indicate that a prior packager of eclipse
2.x has stopped maintaining it, but there is a german website with some
eclipse 3.0 download [3], and eclipse *is* being adopted into debian,
but not ready yet. The last comment on this thread[4] indicates as of
Jan 11, 2005 there is *almost* an eclipse 3 debian package.
In order to get Java technology installed, I am reading the Debian Java
FAQ [5], but personal tips or pointers would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Greg
