Why hasn't this patch been committed yet? I can name two possible reasons: * The patch is against an installed system rather than the build system * It is more correct to fix 36534 [1] if possible. We will try to fix 36534 [1] in 3.5.0-1 and there by closing this. If fixing 36534 turns out to

Can this please be fixed in Interpid Ibex? The bug is growing a bit of a beard and such a basic thing should be taken care of very well. For beginner and intermediate programmers it is demotivating when having to double check several different configuration settings and installed packages before

Situation on Hardy Heron is not much better. After standard installation, one has to install: 1) eclipse 2) sun-java6 (and friends) But this lead to a configuration on your system that is polluted with gij and gic settings. One has to manually set: a) alternatives to sun-java6 b) edit eclipse

Alternatives are system wide. Alternatives also cannot be applied to specific applications. Hence the creation of the existing java-common and eclipse methods. Given that we live in a world with multiple JVMs, some of which work better than others for different purposes, when coming up with these

I'm not asking for an alternative to be applied to a specific application, I'm suggesting that Eclipse should take advantage of that system-wide setting. That's quite a difference. In any case, /etc/jvm is ALSO system-wide, so where's the difference? The /etc/jvm file suggests that every VM

If the /usr results in alternatives being used, I'm happy with that - it wasn't obvious, because of course that was never present in /etc/eclipse/java_home. I'll remove my manually added link to sun- java-6 and try it. The second point about Debian packages not being permitted to rely on

I opened bug #125274 about this, and it got marked a duplicate, but I'd beg to differ (slightly). imo, neither the java-common nor eclipse methods are correct. We have an alternatives system, which should always be configured with the user's preferred VM. Alternatives should be used rather than

Thanks for this. I invented this method for Eclipse, then decided the method was pretty good, and so wrote it in java-common... but never went back and updated Eclipse to use it. I'll clear this up sometime soon. -- Eclipse uses /etc/eclipse/java_home instead of java-common scripts
