Install Eclipse Java on Ubuntu 9.1

Linunix · 02-21-2011, 11:20 PM

Try to get Eclipse 3.5 running on Ubuntu 9.1. Not easy, I can tell you!
Eclipse is here, JDK 1.6 is here, but Eclipse doesn't load any Java Builder, so I cant use any Java projects.

There is no hint in any help files about how to install a builder. Darn, what do they think!!

No help from Ubuntu website. - Any help from here? Thanks a lot!

I have never used eclipse, but I did a quick google search for:
< eclipse java ubuntu > and all of these came up in the first few links:

FYI: Ubuntu 9.10 will reach end of life in April of this year:

You should upgrade to at least Ubuntu 10.04 by then. Since 10.04 is a LTS version, it will be supported for 3 years for the desktop version.
