[Bug 494065] Re: eclipse 3.5.1 in Karmic does not respect JAVA_HOME anymore

[Niels Thykier]

Hi

Thank you for your bug report and for helping making eclipse in Ubuntu
better. The short story is "only -vm is supposed to work" and the
manpage is out of date.

The use of JAVA_HOME and .eclipse/eclipserc were Debian/Ubuntu
workarounds since /usr/bin/java (at that time usually gcj) tended to
give a lot of problems with eclipse. These days /usr/bin/java is by
default provided by openjdk6, which is in a lot better shape.

I will leave this bug open until the manpage has been updated.

Out of interest, which java provides your /usr/bin/java and which one do
you want to use for eclipse?
