Eclipse 3.0 Running on Kaffe

[Thomas Fogwill]

first off, excellent work! You seem to have put in some major effort!

I did (with kaffe), and it seems to compile fine. However, I did spot a
few issues. 

Firstly, the startup.jar symlink is broken: 
/usr/share/eclipse/startup.jar -> /plugins/org.eclipse.platform_*/startup.jar

This should be plugins/org.eclipse.platform_*/startup.jar, I'm sure.

Anyway, there isn't any startup.jar in 
/usr/share/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.platform_3.0.1/

I manually added it, and fixed the symlink, which works.

This build runs fine (so far) with kaffe, but does not run at all with
any other VMs: (tried: Sun's 1.4.2 JDK, SableVM, gij).

As this is the case, would it not make sense to add the following to
the /usr/bin/eclipse script?
    -VM /usr/lib/kaffe/bin/java

Cheers
