Spent a little bit of time chasing this down myself last night with  
akurtakov and hicham.  It is looking like a  32 vs 64 bit issue:  I have 
no Java support on 64 bit, but they both have it working on 32.  THis is 
on F15 with all of the openjdk RPMs installed as well as eclipse-jdt.

I ran eclipse and saw no Java support (no Java perspective, and 
File->new->Project didn't have Java as an option.)

Tried removing ~/.eclipse.  No difference
Tried uninstalling all of the rpms, making sure that there was no 
/etc/eclipse.conf,  and the workspace was gone as well as no 
~/.eclipse.  No difference.

We saw a strange side effect, which was that, once I removed the babel 
rpm  (eclipse-nls.noarch)  and then deleted the directory under 
/usr/share/eclipse, I was getting an OSGi error that it couldn't find 
the repo.  Might have been a red herring, but it seems indicative of a 
dependecy that isn't fully separated out.

If I run from the upstream tarball, I can see a plugin listed under 
help->about...->Installation Details->Plugins

called org.eclipse.jdt.core and org.eclipse.jdt.ui

But the (not working) RPM version does not have these plugins listed.

I'm guessing that this is a problem at the OSGi layer, that the plugins 
are not getting activated.


Does anyone have a working Fedora Eclipse on 64 bit?
