How to install Java Integrated Development Environment (Eclipse) 

sudo apt-get install eclipse


  • By default Eclipse will use GNU's java instead of Sun's. This will make Eclipse run very slowly and crash from time to time. To solve this problem, we will use Sun's JVM.
  • Install Sun JRE: 
sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jre sun-java5-plugin sun-java5-bin sun-java5-fonts


  • Make Sun's JVM default: 
sudo update-alternatives --config java
  • Choose the line that says 
/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/jre/bin/java.
  • Edit the JVM Configuration file: 
gksudo gedit /etc/jvm

# This file defines the default system JVM search order. Each
# JVM should list their JAVA_HOME compatible directory in this file.
# The default system JVM is the first one available from top to
# bottom.

/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun
/usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj
/usr/lib/jvm/ia32-java-1.5.0-sun
/usr


  • Next, we need to tell Eclipse to use this JVM as well. This can be done on systemlevel or userlevel.
  • System: 
gksudo gedit /etc/eclipse/java_home

# This file determines the search order the Eclipse Platform uses to find a
# compatible JAVA_HOME. This setting may be overridden on a per-user basis by
# altering the JAVA_HOME setting in ~/.eclipse/eclipserc.

/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun
/usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj
/usr/lib/kaffe/pthreads
