Hi,
I'm having a small bit of trouble with eclipse, hoping someone can help.
I unzipped the 3.1 environment distribution in my home dir. As root I
moved the directory to '/usr/share/eclipse/'.
Running the program as root is fine but when I try to execute the program
as a standard user I get the following errors in the config log:

Ideally I just want to run without having to sudo. If you need anymore
info just let me know.
Thanks,
Jude

Check out this snippet of information I got when I asked about running
the infocenter help as a non-root user, where Eclipse is installed in a
non-writable location:
"In addition to -eclipseHome, you can use -data and -configuration.
With the latter two pointing to writable area, the first one (and
eclipse) can be at read only location."
In this case, -data and -configuration point to the user's home
directory, and -eclipseHome points to the application that is read-only.

Thanx WebMaster,
That more or less resolves this issue completely. For that matter, is their
a FAQ for this type of issue, outside of the bug database?
