Re: [pdt-dev] How to make PDT-Eclipse use Sun-JDK instead of GCJ

[Wayne Beaton <wayne@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Don't do this. This step is for configuring the Eclipse environment to 
*build* Java applications. You need to configure the version of Java 
used to run Eclipse itself. This is an Ubuntu thing, not an Eclipse thing.

A little further down in the thread, the following steps are more useful:

You can configure Eclipse to use a specific JRE when it runs 
(independent of what's installed/configured on Ubuntu); let us know if 
you want to try that.
