It is just designed for a different thing. Unlike APT, the Eclipse install is designed to allow multiple versions of the same software to be installed. One of the reason why APT may seem faster is that it creates a machine-dependent cache, which allows it to "map" its cache into memory and repair a few pointers. > Thanks in advance for any advice. > Need to get the Android plugin working, cant' find any definitive info on the > internet. > dave > ~Niels [1] http://download.eclipse.org/tools/orbit/downloads/drops/R20100114021427/ -- Android plugin jem requires com.ibm.icu Ubuntu 10.04 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/586945 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
