Change the owner to your user to allow this. Assuming your username is "klemens":

  • sudo chown klemens:klemens /var/www

Old Stuff:

Note: this guide assumes using Ubuntu (9.10) and PDT 2.1 SR2

  • Install Java:
    • sudo aptitude install sun-java6-bin
  • Make sure we're using the correct java:
    • sudo update-alternatives --config java
  • 64-bit users: At the moment we recommend installing a 32-bit Java VM since there's no Eclipse PDT all-in-one package for 64-bit systems.(Spring 2009)
    • sudo aptitude install ia32-sun-java6-bin
    • sudo update-alternatives --config java
    • Note that this permanently changes your active Java VM.
    • As an alternative, manually installing everything for your architecture should work too.
  • Download from http://download.eclipse.org/tools/pdt/downloads/
  • Extract the file to ~/bin/eclipse
  • Workaround for Button-Bug
    • create file start_eclipse.sh in ~/bin/eclipse
    • insert content in start_elipse.sh:
    • export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1
      ./eclipse
    • make start_eclipse.sh executeable
    • run Eclipse via start_eclipse.sh
  • Launch eclipse
  •
