I just tried to install pydev-0.7 plugin for eclipse, and it failed because it tried to write to /usr/share/eclipse/...
Any hints?
you can create a folder ( say plugins) in your home directory with two subfolder call them plugins and features and create a file called .eclipseextension ( type in a terminal touch .eclipseextension) unzip your pydev-0.7 plugin in the plugins folder in eclipse in Help menu -> Software updates -> Manage configuration add an extension location ( your plugins dir. ) it'll ask you to restart eclipse that's it cheers

Is this FC4 with native eclipse?
You should be able to create .eclipse in your home directory and install your plugins there. [so you'll have .eclipse/plugins and .eclipse/features]. Mind you, this is with FC3 and eclipse from eclipse, not the 'native' shipping with FC4.
Or if you want them [your plugins] available to all users, install them in the directory in question above.

1. We have pydev RPMs in Fedora Core 4 (eclipse-pydev) 2. You should be able to use the Eclipse update manager which should default to ~/.eclipse as a regular user (we have a patch that does this).
