Hi,

I have already tried to remove my ~/.eclipse but it did not help.

$>ls -l /usr/share/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.osgi_3.1.1.jar
/usr/lib/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.osgi_3.1.1.jar
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     57 2005-12-16 00:37
/usr/lib/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.osgi_3.1.1.jar ->
../../../share/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.osgi_3.1.1.jar
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 748300 2005-12-01 10:21
/usr/share/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.osgi_3.1.1.jar

I have no java from sun anymore on my box.

I have try to purge all my eclipse installation (apt-get remove --purge
eclipse*) and to reinstall but it did not help.

After this eclipse reinistall, I have tried eclipse -debug.
Here is the first lines of log file :

!SESSION 2005-12-16 10:34:11.999 -----------------------------------------------

What is the best way to remove *all* the eclipse and java related files from my
box (packages but also .eclipse and so on). I would like to do as clean as
possbile install of eclipse (I would like to be sure there is no crappy file in
my eclipse install).

If this bug is related to a crappy file which is not under control of eclipse
packages, I do apologize for the noise.

Xavier.
