[Bug 123064] Re: Upgrade to Eclipse 3.3

[Finch]

@Ashton: "If you need ... Eclipse, use Fedora":

Well, thanks for the hint, but *you can't be serious*! As far as I'm
concerned, Fedora is a completely different OS than Ubuntu and (for me
at least) just as much of a difference as, let's say, MacOS would be...
Having to switch the OS to make something work that worked fine in the
previous version is just the reason BUG #1 will be open for much much
longer...


@Andriy:

Yes, I know. It works fine in 7.10 x64 for me as well, but does *not*
currently work in 8.04.

I *really* hope this will be fixed (and that's the reason I'm testing
8.04 and posting here), but it's really frustrating to see new things
break in every new release.

I've tried 4 releases of Ubuntu now and at the beginning I was really
impressed / enthusiastic and thought "wow, things are really moving
forward rapidly and I can switch in a year or so". In every subsequent
release, a lot of things got better but new things broke that had worked
before. I'm now officially frustrated... how can I (ever) use a system
like that if I can't be sure that things will even "keep working"? I'm
sorry, we were told this is not a forum for rants... it's just that I'm
frustrated at the moment... and unfortunately, I do not have enough
Linux knowledge (yet) to solve this problem myself or help others solve
it...

Well, maybe I can help a little by posting the log-file:

==================
I do have packages called "libswt3.2-gtk-java" and "libswt3.2-gtk-jni" installed, but Eclipse 3.3 doesn't seem to like them...

Hope somebody can solve this for Hardy final...
