Setting up Eclipse on Ubuntu
============================

First, install the appropriate Java packages:

	sudo apt-get install sun-java6-bin sun-java6-fonts sun-java6-jre libmysql-java

Run the following command:

	sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun

Edit the /etc/jvm file and add this line to the top of the list:

	/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun

Download the latest Eclipse PDT All-in-One package from the eclipse.org web
site. Assuming you save the .tar.gz file to your desktop, enter the following
commands (replacing the filename with the version you have):

	cd ~/Desktop
	sudo tar zxvf pdt-all-in-one-1.0-R20070917-linux-gtk.tar.gz /opt/
	sudo chown -R <user>:<group> /opt/eclipse
	sudo nano /usr/share/applications/eclipse.desktop

Paste this in the eclipse.desktop file (be sure to remove indentation):

	[Desktop Entry]
	Name=Eclipse
	Comment=A General-Purpose IDE
	Exec=/opt/eclipse/eclipse
	Icon=/opt/eclipse/icon.xpm
	Terminal=false
	Type=Application
	Categories=Development;
