Can anyone give me some pointers on how to get a serious Java development environment setup going? I want to have full flexibility to download and install Eclipse tools and applications without being unencumbered with Fedora's port version preventing such operations, for example if I need to get RCP, WSP, Swing, AWT, and the zillions of other things that are rapidly being released by the Eclipse community.
It takes a little work, but it can be done. For a 100% "real" Java environment, you'll first want to remove all the gcj-compiled packages from your system.
What for? They will still work.
Install whatever runtime environment you want via an RPM from jpackage.org and use /usr/sbin/alternatives to switch to it.
