Installing Eclipse Ubuntu 9.04
Installing Eclipse in Ubuntu is very easy procedure but sometimes openJDK generate some unexpected problem.So instead of using openJDK you can download sunJDK.Here are the steps that help you to install eclipse in ubuntu linux.
sudo apt-get install eclipse (install eclipse ide,if you wanna remove it use sudo apt-get autoremove eclipse)
sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jre sun-java5-plugin sun-java5-bin sun-java5-fonts(java run time enviroment files)
sudo update-alternatives --config java(update the JDK)/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/jre/bin/java (select this line number in console)gksudo gedit /etc/eclipse/java_home(make sunJDK first line which means first JDK lookup)gedit ~/.eclipse/eclipserc and add this lineJAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/
If you have problem while updating eclipse thats probably cause of openJDK or the server you use to update.Change JDK or server.
