Package: eclipse Version: 3.7~exp-5 Followup-For: Bug #644595 I see this as well with the package from experimental. I only installed it as I couldn't build the version in unstable (3.5.2) successfully on my system. At this point I don't see how I can run eclipse.
I'm happy to assist in any way possible, if somebody tells me how to debug this further. Note: I have the solution - skip to the bottom if you're short on time. ;) I get a log like this: • [labrie:~] antony $ cat .eclipse/org.eclipse.platform_3.7.0_155965261/configuration/1318030155582.log !SESSION 2011-10-08 01:29:15.500 ----------------------------------------------- eclipse.buildId=I20110613-1736 java.version=1.6.0_23 java.vendor=Sun Microsystems Inc.

At this point eclipse started and I could install the Android ADT Plugin so I'm pretty chuffed. It looks like bumping the apache.jasper symlink in eclipse-platform should do the trick, but I'm quite naive on this stuff so I'll leave the maintainer to decide waht the best way forward is. :) -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.0.0-1-686-pae (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages eclipse depends on: ii eclipse-jdt 3.7~exp-5 ii eclipse-pde 3.7~exp-5 eclipse recommends no packages. eclipse suggests no packages.
