[CALUG] Eclipse 3.4 with CDT 5.0?

[Jim Sansing]

Googling for it talks around the problem, but an older similar
problem suggests upgrading the Java runtime.  Since you are
running Ubuntu, I am assuming your Java is gcj.  I have been
able to run Eclipse with that, but when I installed Sun Java, it
ran lightyears faster.  I have also had some issues where gcj
doesn't work at all, specifically when using SSL.

If you haven't played with this before, brace yourself.  I had to
use 'update-alternatives' to set a dozen links to point to Sun java.
Read the man page carefully! Also, the /etc/eclipse/java_home
file is like a PATH environment variable for JREs.

Later . . .   Jim
