Installing Eclipse

[rav_10]

I decided to install Eclipse on Debian. I read what I could find in the forum, so i downloaded and installed the free-java-sdk package. But when I try to run Eclipse, I get an error and the following log:

the sun java sdk is now in sid non-free. it installs fine and works exellent with eclipse.

for eclipse i have to say that the most stable install was just to download the java packages from the website and start.
