Hi,
just a short tip if you want to start eclipse from the command line. You can find the possible options here:
http://help.eclipse.org/ganymede/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.platform.doc.user/tasks/running_eclipse.htm
Example:
#!/bin/bash $HOME/applications/ver/eclipse/eclipse -clean -nosplash \ -data $HOME/project/ver/
Cheers
Andy
