My distro upgraded from Eclipse 3.4.1 to 3.4.2 yesterday, and now it crashes on me at startup. Googling didn't help much. Any of the eclipse braniacs here...

... I definitely recommend that for Eclipse. I've heard very little good about the distro'd Eclipses, and plenty of bad. I'd say the most common problem seems...

... Good advice. My distro hasn't made any of the gcj mistakes, fortunately. But yeah, Eclipse is certainly a lower priority package for the package...
... My primary reason for managing my Eclipse install instead of letting Ubuntu manage it is problems with installing plugins. If I install Eclipse using...
The ideas have been great, and I'm glad I asked for some help. Unfortunately, it seems my changes to this feature are going to need to be in a build for QA...

Scott, I so want to be you when I grow up. Actually, it was just a shade over two years ago, I decided if they wouldn't let me fix it, I would walk. I couldn't...
