Has Oracle been any more sensible about building an RHEL-style (with appropriate locations and alternatives setup) RPM than Sun was?
Haven't seen anything yet... except where Oracle put their name in place of Sun's in the latest release of java, and *broke* a huge amount of software... including Eclipse, becuase for some inane Java (sorry, I'm repeating myself) reason, they were looking for the string "Sun Microsystems", instead of *just* the version and subversion release numbers....
That's interesting... Well, no, it's strange. Does openjdk still have the sun name in the right place? And I thought RH had made their version of eclipse work with gjc before deciding to put Sun java in their update stream and later going with openjdk.
Well yes, it does work OK. The point being though it's an old (stable) release of Eclipse, but nothing near the current Eclipse 3.6.0 Helios release.
I'm in the middle of moving now, but when the dust settles I will put my 'Installing Eclipse Helios 3.6.0 for PHP developers' on Centos 5.5 on my site. It covers Java, Xdebug, PDT, necessary repos, and starting to use the PDT plugin for debugging local and remote PHP scripts. I might even throw in a few screencasts. But that's another story getting OT now.
Best Wishes,
