Firstly that the company I work for is called "Red Hat" :)
That's two words, both capitalized.

Also that the Java runtime we ship is "libgcj" and the Java compiler
we use is called "ecj".

I don't think Eclipse uses Swing, does it?

They should coexist just fine.

| yum list | grep -i classpath

The packages called classpath* are not themselves classpath.

Cheers,
