FC4 and Eclipse Issue

[Stephen Esquibel]

All,
I'm new to fedora, and Ihave an issue with Eclipse.  Every time I start it
up, I recieve a pop-up with this error message.

JVM terminated. Exit code=1
/usr/bin/java
-jar startup.jar
-os linux
-ws gtk
-arch x86
-launcher /usr/bin/eclipse
-name Eclipse
-showsplash 600
-exitdata 140018
-vm /usr/bin/java
-vmargs
-jar startup.jar


Here are the java links for my system
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 22 Mar 12 20:19 /usr/bin/java ->
/etc/alternatives/java*
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 35 Mar 19 22:14 /etc/alternatives/java ->
/usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.5.0-sun/bin/java*

Any thoughts?

What you're probably seeing is this:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=177210

This is a pretty annoying (although known) issue with FC4, and you can
look at that bug for a long-winded discussion. FYI, this problem does
not happen with FC5.

Thanks,
Igor

Igor,

Thanks for the help.  I read up on that bugzilla report, and sure 
enough, /usr/bin/eclipse was not a link.  It worked like a charm after I 
fixed that.  Thanks.
