I need to use gcj, if eclipse does not work with it, after the line
testing /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj...found
it should stop.

 Also, make sure you have installed xulrunner-dev or the equivalent.
 If that doesn't work either, then the problem is that unstable has a too new
 version of xulrunner for eclipse.


If i need to install xulrunner-dev then a depend is missing.

 Mozilla people tend to change the interfaces at will which tends to break
 eclipse a lot. The most current breakage (also reported as a Fedora bug)
 is iirc still being discussed in upstream eclipse's bugzilla.

then this depende should be versioned :?

Agreed with all the above, but eclipse seems to have no active
maintainer right now
and the version in debian is trully ancient (the equivalent of kde 2.x).

The best solution at this time is probably to remove eclipse
altogether from debian
until someone with the needed time and dedication can pick it up and bring in
the current versions.

Until then we 'd just be beating a dead horse, imho.

2009-04-30 Thread Ana Guerrero
severity 507536 serious
thanks


pure unstable/amd64 system here. I just installed eclipse to test something and 
I
got this problem too.

When starting eclipse from command line i got:

a...@pryan:$ eclipse
searching for compatible vm...
  testing /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk...not found
  testing /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj...found
***Here it stops and i get a popup message: This Eclipse build doesn't have
support for the integrated browser. I accept and it continues ...
Could not create /usr/local/lib/eclipse/.eclipseextension. Please run as root:
touch /usr/local/lib/eclipse/.eclipseextension
chmod 2775 /usr/local/lib/eclipse/.eclipseextension
chown root:staff /usr/local/lib/eclipse/.eclipseextension

undefined symbol: _ZN4nsID5ParseEPKc


It it the first time I install eclipse (never used it before, really).

Please try openjdk instead of gcj, gcj has never been really reliable
for eclipse afaict.
The only reason it was pursued was because it has the right license.
Now with openjdk, gcj should probably be deprecated (at least for eclipse).
