Yea, a bug report can be filed, but the root question still is: do the
Eclipse packages install a working app? Does anyone have it working?
BTW, I downloaded what I use (which works) from
eclipse.org and is
Version 3.3.1.1, Build ID M20071023-1652. My system is a Dell XPS 1710,
Fedora kernel 2.6.23.9-85.fc8. I see the filename on the eclipse site
is "eclipse-jee-europa-fall2-linux-gtk.tar.gz."

I suppose someone would have to define working...I don't use it but it
did just now launch when I started it up. I don't know what to do with
it however...
