I'm wondering if anyone is using eclipse on Debian Sarge?
I am trying to get into Java web development, but I find no information on properly getting eclipse installed and running on Sarge. I found an article about installing it on Woody[1], but the author had to jump through hoops to get things working there. It seems that you could download eclipse 3 web tools [2] from eclipse.org, but I have not yet figured out exactly what I need to do in order to ensure that I have met the requirements, that I have the right pieces. I would rather install it using apt if possible b/c then the maintenance, dependencies and upgrade is so much easier.
Searching debian.org, seems to indicate that a prior packager of eclipse 2.x has stopped maintaining it, but there is a german website with some eclipse 3.0 download [3], and eclipse *is* being adopted into debian, but not ready yet. The last comment on this thread[4] indicates as of Jan 11, 2005 there is *almost* an eclipse 3 debian package.
In order to get Java technology installed, I am reading the Debian Java FAQ [5], but personal tips or pointers would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Greg
