Well I am running Eclipse 3.1 (which is the latest stable version
currently) under Debian unstable. I installed JDK 1.5 from Sun
using the java-package utility, and I even have WTP working
under Eclipse.
I installed it in /usr/local/eclipse. The only SDK I have installed
is the 1.5 one. It might be worth passing in the -vm parameter
to eclipse to be sure you are using the right one.
