Hi Dugan,
The bug is for the 32 bit version of Slackware 13.0 and Eclipse, the latter being installed as a SlackBuild package. We reproduced this bug on four (not identical) machines.
The de facto recommended convention (dare I say standard
), is to install using the Slackware package management system, with packages created via the SlackBuild whenever possible, although I'm also a fan of compiling and installing by hand (As well as rolling my own Packages irrespective of SlackBuilds) as well
Each machine had various plugins installed other than Aptana, including Epic-IDE, on three of them. I also posted in the Aptana forums and found a myriad of similar issues in their archived forums, yet to date have not had anyone address the issue there (Those similar issues by many others weren't addressed in the earlier forum system they were using either).
Aptana is a nice development environment, so I just may try a shotgun install using your Eclipse installation method on a machine (in a 32 bit environs) and give that a try.
We're looking forward to RadRails3, but are prepared to continue using NetBeans as well.
Thanks for the input!
