Hi Fabio, As you say, it appears that it was a permissions problem: there were some files among the ones in the pydev dropin which were only readable by the owner (in this case, root.) I fixed it by changing to the dropins directory and changing everything below it to be world-readable and world-executable - after this, pydev was visible for non-root users. (Note that this was only a test to prove the point - I'll now reinstall pydev and try changing the permissions on specific files.) A few points. Under our Red Hat systems, we have no option but to install software as root, and eclipse works fine if installed in this way. Also, as far as I could see, there's nothing currently in the pydev installation instructions about having to change file permissions, and/or installing as a particular user. (Probably also worth noting that our Red Hat boxes can't see the internet, so we have to install eclipse and add-ons using .zip files. Maybe if pydev is installed via the online repositories, this problem doesn't occur.) Thanks for getting back to me on this. When I've identified which files need to have their permissions changed, I'll post another update.
