eclipse 3.0 and fedora core 2

[arupsarkar]

Hi,

I have installed fedora core 2 and downloaded eclipse stable build 3.0. Unzipped it but when I am executing the command ./eclipse from the installed directory I am getting an error.

NOTE : I have already JAVA_HOME in my .bash_profile and put it in my path.

Can anybody please tell me what I am missing.

Regards

[arupsarkar]

I added the JAVA_HOME in /etc/profile and did a export JAVA_HOME/bin. I am getting the same error.

Have I done it right ?

It has been fixed...Thanks for your help !!! The problem was that the downloaded zip file was not extracted properly...

Thanks Again !!!

hello everyone,
I'm trying to use Eclipse 3.0.1 with jdk 1.5.0, because I'm required to use the Scanner class. I set the the path in Linux Fedora Core 2 so I can start eclipse from the terminal everything seems to work normal. But everytime I try to import java.util.Scanner; I get this message "The import of java.util.Scanner cannot be resolved." or when I import java.util.*; the message is "The import java.util is never used" please, if you're able to help me, tell me what to do. thank you very much
this is the first time when I'm writing on a forum and maybe I did not read the rules too carefully...

Eclipse 3.0.1 won't work with Java 5 - the parser's are not set to handle it, especially generics and enums. Use Netbeans 4 (beta) instead - it's gotten a lot better, even though it's still not quite up to the level of sophistication in Eclipse and IDEA.
