Eclipse Problem: Nullpointerexception
Hi all.
Yesterday I installed Ubuntu 6.10 on my computer. I also installed Jdk 1.5 and eclipse, because I need to develop some things in java. Here is the deal: When I try to create a New java project in Eclipse, I get an error window. I look at the error log and see that the error given is a NullPointerException. HAs anybody had this problem before? Do I need to install something else besides what Ubuntu already has built-in? Some months ago I did the same installation under a Red Hat 9 and it worked fine from the start. Thanks for your help. |
More details about my error:

Eclipse Problem: Nullpointerexception
I'm having the same problem. At the moment, I'm trying a previous version of eclipse.

Ahh. A solution
Simply install a real Java JRE or JDK and specify it in Eclipse (menu->Windows->Preferences->Java->Installed JREs. Restart eclipse, and it should work.
The problem is caused by Ubuntu's default java. |

I was suspicious about 6.10 installation because some things worked a little weird. For example, when installing in graphical mode, the prompt says: Choose a root (/) filesystem. I chosed it, clicked next, and it said: You haven't chosen a root filesystem. So I had to install in text mode. By the way, I installed a real jdk and the same problem happened. |
