Well, if you can't remember what you were trying to do or what happened, we can't help you. We can't somehow get inside your skull and figure out what you want.

Waht Eclipse did you used? What do you did exactly? Maybe this is a bug in the eclipse provided by Debian. Just to get sure on my side.

What is wrong with Eclipse? Nothing is wrong with Eclipse - just when I installed it and tried to do something (and at this point I don't even remember what I was doing) it kept asking for plugins I didn't have loaded.

Very basic but met my needs. Also I am in a BSIT program and beginning programming class next week. Coupled together I should get some of this to come together.

If you use upstream eclipse use $ECLIPSEDIR/eclipse or with eclipse from Debian just use eclipse Cheers, Michael -- Escape the Java Trap with GNU Classpath! http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/java-trap.html Join the community at http://planet.classpath.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Hi there, for beginners, BlueJ might be interesting to watch classes growing and study the behavior of objects. Later you can use eclipse as well. If you read German, try out this document (1). In generally it is important that you have a "valid" java version installed: java --version Then just start eclipse by entering in any console java -jar eclipse/startup.jar Good Luck Ralf 1. http://skolelinux.de/wiki/RalfGesellensetter/Entwicklung/Java

To learn a programming language like Java its generally a good idea to read a good book about this. Personally I learned it from "teach yourself java 1.1 programming in 24 hours". Its not the best but it was okay for me.

Install a Java IDE
I am starting to learn programming Java (and programming in general for that matter). I'd like to use my Debian Testing box to work on. I have read and know that Eclipse is available but when I installed it the plugin choices were not intuitive so I uninstalled it and decided to ask "directions". I have not found a clear document via google. Can someone either point me to where I can determine what needs to be loaded and so advise. I currently have an IDE on a windows box but I hate having to switch back and forth. Don -- - Powered by Debian Linux - -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
