I tried just installing eclipse package and then tried to step through some Java code. At this point I found out the application was running under gcj and from what i read I could not step debug through that (it might have change by now). My current practise is to download eclipse and run it from within its own directory and usually rung JDK 5 or 6. I do development on both linux and windows environment so I find this to be the easiest way of getting up and running just about anywhere (as long as I have access to my cvs). The other problem I have come across with gcj (previously), is access to all the JDK6 class libraries. ALthough I presume I could use gcj against the JDK 6 provided libraries and not use classpath. I am not out to bash gcj - I would use it if it worked out of the box for me, but it hasn't so far. I have 4.1 installed and last time I read 4.2 seemed to be closer to my needs > > Regards, > > -Roberto > > > -- > Roberto C. Sánchez > http://people.connexer.com/~roberto > http://www.connexer.com
