Peter, if you choose your ~/.eclipse dir to install the updates, you won't have that problem. It occurs when you try to install the updates at /usr/lib/eclipse or /usr/local/lib/eclipse. Try to add your user to the staff group, it may fix this issue.

I am also using Ubuntu but I stop fetching Eclipse from Ubuntu repos as there was issues with file rights creating problem when fetching new eclipse modules via eclipse download manager. I don't know the current situation but I know Eclipse has set up a project, inviting linux dists, to try to overcome this type of problems. Maybe your problems are related to process and file ownership rights ? I suggest you download and install eclipse into /usr/local and make sure the eclipse user have all the rights he needs also on the geronimo files and processes. hope this helps thanks Peter Petersson > > 2.
