So I know we're not supposed to install eclipse from the repositories, so I downloaded it from this website. I extracted it and it runs, but I have no desktop/unity shortcut now, and ubuntu being ubuntu I can't add a shortcut to Unity without installing more software I don't want.
So how am I supposed to install the Eclipse 3.7 C++ for linux developers (32 bit) under ubuntu 11.10?

Here are the steps I use to create a launcher for Eclipse on my GNOME
desktop in Ubuntu (all Ubuntu releases I've ever used):
1. Right-click out on empty desktop.
2. Choose Create Launcher...
3. Type "Indigo" for Name:
4. Click Browse...
5. Go find file eclipse where you exploded your Eclipse download.
6. Click the funny icon in the Create Launcher dialog.
7. Go back to where you exploded your Eclipse download and click on
icon.xpm.
8. Click OK.
And there you are. If you want it on the top (panel) bar, just click on
it and drag it up there.
Hope this helps.

Ah, good to know. This is yet another reason to eschew Natty, Oneiric
and Unity altogether.
