Message: [QUOTE="Pseudo Silk Kimono, post: 3017269"] Greetings, I have the exact same setup as you, except that I prefer Ubuntu rather than Kubuntu. Here is what I did. YMMV I downloaded the Sun JDK 6 from the sun site [URL]http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp[/URL] (I picked JDK 6 Update 2) and installed it in /usr/local Then, I set my JAVA_HOME to be /usr/local/jdk1.6.0_01 (or what ever it calls itself) This is done in my .bashrc Once the JAVA_HOME is set, I export it. Then, I add a line to my .bashrc to set the PATH. Here are the important pieces of my .bashrc export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/jdk1.6.0_02 export ANT_HOME=/usr/local/apache-ant-1.7.0 export TOMCAT_HOME=/usr/local/apache-tomcat-5.5.23 export ECLIPSE_HOME=/usr/local/eclipse export PATH=${JAVA_HOME}/bin:${ANT_HOME}/bin:${TOMCAT_HOME}/bin:${ECLIPSE_HOME}:${PATH} alias runArgo="cd /usr/local/argo; java -jar ./argouml.jar &" alias runEclipse="cd ${ECLIPSE_HOME}; ./eclipse &" As you can see, I tend to install everything in /usr/local This lets me use SimpleBackup to back up the contents of the directory with the assurance that I will get everything. The important pieces, in my opinion, are JAVA_HOME, ANT_HOME, TOMCAT_HOME and ECLIPSE_HOME and the corresponding pieces of the PATH line. The alias for runEclipse lets me run eclipse from the command line in the background so that I can do other things at the same time. Once you've set up your environment and appropriate PATH variables, you can start up Eclipse, and navigate to the Install Runtimes of your Windows -> Preferences. From there, it should be easy to navigate to where you installed the Sun JDK, assuming you followed these instructions, or made similar changes. Please note: If you are going to install to /usr/local, you will need to either a) use sudo during the installation or b) use sudo to set the permissions correctly on /usr/local Otherwise you will not be able to write to the directory. Hope this helps BTW...
