Package: eclipse-platform Version: 3.1.2-1 Severity: normal
Hi, Upon a straight installation of 'eclipse' package, there is one plugin -- RCP 3.1.2 -- that fails to install correctly. This is because although there is a org.eclipse.swt_3.1.0.jar in /usr/share/eclipse/plugins, that's not the version that's required by RCP. Instead RCP needs org.eclipse.swt.gtk.linux.x86_3.1.1.jar, which is installed by the 'libswt3.1-gtk-java' in /usr/lib/eclipse. At this point, I realized that almost all the plugins were in /usr/share/eclipse/plugins, and not in /usr/lib/eclipse/plugins. The ones from /usr/share/eclipse/plugins appeared to be loading correctly, so I made symlinks in /usr/share/eclipse/plugins to the three plugins in /usr/lib/eclipse/plugins, and everything appears to be working fine now. I did an apt-file search on the entire repository and there are only three packages I found that install into /usr/share/eclipse/plugins: eclipse-cdt eclipse-platform libswt3.1-gtk-java I'm not completely sure about whether these packages should really be installing into /usr/share/eclipse/plugins, or whether something's just broken with the Eclipse installation in general that hampers the useability of the /usr/lib/eclipse/plugins directory. I know Eclipse expects a lot of .eclipse<whatever> files in their directories. For instance, /usr/share/eclipse has a .eclipseproduct in it. /usr/lib/eclipse doesn't, but maybe this is completely unrelated. Anyway, there's definitely a kink in the installation that should be sorted out. I've tried to explain the problem as best as I can, but it's possible this report needs to be redirected to another package. At this point, I'm just going to file this one bug report and not reproduce a similar report for any of the other packages involved. Let me know if there's anything more I can do from my end. - Sukant -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (90, 'unstable'), (80, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-hole Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages eclipse-platform depends on: ii eclipse-platform-common 3.1.2-1 Eclipse platform without plug-ins ii eclipse-rcp 3.1.2-1 Eclipse rich client platform ii libjsch-java 0.1.19-3 java secure channel ii liblucene-java 1.4.3-9 full-text search engine library fo ii liblucene-java-doc 1.4.3-9 demonstration programs and example ii libtomcat5-java 5.0.30-9 Java Servlet engine -- core librar Versions of packages eclipse-platform recommends: ii eclipse 3.1.2-1 Extensible Tool Platform and Java pn eclipse-platform-gcj <none> (no description available) pn java-gcj-compat <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
