I've been using Eclipse 3.5 and downloaded 3.6 yesterday (Ubuntu). I unzipped to one of my folders and made a copy of one of my workspaces to test it. One of my apps compiles without warnings but fails at runtime with an error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no PvJNI in java.library.path

I I think I've gone through all the preference menus and compared them to 3.5 to no avail.

How do I correct this? It's my intention to uninstall 3.5 if 3.6 works with my code.

First thing: workspaces are not intended to be copied and/or moved
around. Doing so almost always leads to problems.

Second: what is PvJNI? Is your project using JNI to call into native
code? If so, you'll have to edit the launch configuration for the
project to add the location of PvJNI to the runtime java.library.path.

Thanks, Eric, I think I would like to "upgrade" from 3.5, which is properly installed as an application on the machine, to 3.6 - how do I properly do that?

I really like Eclipse, it's helping me to learn Java and some Swing and to make progress on my larger work projects. I've been using Borland for years.

You install Helios just as you did Galileo. Once you've installed it,
launch it and open your original workspace. It will likely work. The
only thing that might keep it from working would be having failed to
install in Helios any important plug-ins you had in Galileo.

Do this first, then if you've got something special like a JNI, come
back and let's talk about that separately.

Thanks.

IIRC I installed 3.5 from Ubuntu using Ubuntu Software Center. When I access Ubuntu Software Center there is only the option of "Remove". The page that describes Eclipse refers to 3.5 but I don't know if that is a reference to what is installed or what is available.

Should I remove 3.5 and then install 3.6? Is apt-get available?

I don't want Indigo as I really need CDT and want Window Builder neither of which appear to be available for Indigo yet.

I strongly recommend against installing Eclipse from any of the Linux
distro package managers. Instead, go right to the source,
www.eclipse.org/downloads and get the package you want. Just make sure
you have the Sun/Oracle JDK installed and configure Eclipse to use it
(see http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse.ini )

So I would just unzip and put the Eclipse folder where convenient, say in my Development folder, and proceed as outlined in the wiki?

Thanks

Yep; Eclipse installation is a breeze that way.

Thanks, it was a breeze that way - I had no idea. Got C and I think I have Window Builder installed (I don't know how to start it) and test ran two apps! Very Happy
