Re: [Subclipse-users] Update to Subclipse on Debian wiki...

I have made some more revisions to my wiki describing how to set up
Eclipse, Subclipse and Subversion, as suggested by Mark and Andrew.

Here is the link:

http://tips4javadevelopmentondebian.pbwiki.com/Working%20With%20Eclipse%2C%20Subclipse%2C%20and%20Subversion

I'm open to more revision if there are still some things that need to
be changed.

P.S. - I've also added this information to the Debian Wiki at:

http://wiki.debian.org/Using_Eclipse,_Subclipse,_and_Subversion_on_Debian?action=show

I was suggesting that the Eclipse startup script be modified, as it
appears Debian does.  It is cool that Debian is doing it.  That should
mean that someone that install Eclipse and JavaHL via apt should just
work.
