Re: How to install Eclipse 3.5 on Debian 5 (lenny) stable release ?

Hi Nick Douma, Liam O'Toole and Mathias,

     It works by simply extracting the downloaded Eclipse 3.5 binary file
into /usr/local/eclipse-3.5/ directory and then run the eclipse script under
that directory. But I think, the eclipse 3.5 simple installation may depend
on some configurations of my old eclipse 3.2 installation. That is, I may
not un-install eclipse 3.2 while expecting eclipse 3.5 would work properly.
Is that the case ?

     Anyway, thank you for all your suggestions.

Yeah, seeing how the apt system on debian mostly works to maintain and upgrade the packages to newer version, the 3.4 that is in unstable would replace the 3.2 one, unless some changes were made to the newer package.

As mentioned earlier, creating a symlink in /usr/bin seems like a good idea too.
