[Bug 214952] [NEW] Eclipse doesn't find OpenJDK6 JVM after installation

[Andrey Zaitsev]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: eclipse

Package: eclipse-3.2.2-5ubuntu2
Distribution: Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy beta
Expected: Flowless start of eclipse after install
Actual result: Eclipse cannot find installed OpenJDK JVM and exits with error

Descrition:

Trying to start eclipse after installation leads to error because
eclipse can't find OpenJDK JRE which was installed before eclipse
installation. This behavior can be fixed either by setting JAVA_HOME
variable or be editing ~/.eclipse/eclipserc. But much better solution is
ta add a line "/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk" in /etc/eclipse/java_home,
which is contained in eclipse package, so this eliminates need to
manualy edit configuration files and makes eclipse work out-of-the-box
that is preferable for an end user.
