OcaIDE: a new Eclipse plug-in for O'Caml

[Jon Harrop]

This was sounding quite nice and I've been meaning to try Eclipse and Scala. 
However, I just managed to get the necessary software installed under Debian 
Linux and am finding it to be extremely unstable. I'm seeing null pointer 
exceptions and lots of hanging.

One point of particular concern is the startup message:

searching for compatible vm...
  testing /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj...found

which implies that Eclipse has chosen to run using the GNU Java clone rather 
than the real thing (which is installed).

Has anyone else here found Eclipse to be usable?

As said in some post previously, you need sun-java (6 preferably) and 
start eclipse with -vm to tell him
the java path.

Wonderful: that fixed all of the problems. This IDE looks absolutely 
fantastic! 8-)

I reckon that you've installed "the real thing" with something like `sudo
apt-get sun-java6-jdk` (which at least is the package name in my Ubuntu
Feisty Debian derivative). You should then look into the `sudo
update-alternatives --config java` command, to set this as the default VM.
