But I'm working on a Plug-In and need to run an Eclipse instance from Eclipse itself (Run As => Eclipse Application) from time to time. When I do this, the new Eclipse instance comes with the button errors. How do I get the "GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1" into the Run Configuration? Great thanks for the “GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1″ advice.

After installing, I had to change the System->Preferences->Main Menu->Programming->Eclipse (rightclick)properties to point to /usr/lib/eclipse/eclipse The installation seems to be done as root which causes several problems: 1. The workspace points to root/workspace3.2 and isnot accepted. Thinks that is is use. I had to remove all folders for $workspace. 2. The workspace dialog insists on /root/Workspace3.2 event when I change it to /home/intrader/workspace and check the checkbox 3. The IDE does not have a splash, or java perspective. I attempt a 'Software Update' and that fixes some things - now I have a java perspective. 3. The Java 'new Project' does nothing; when I have the cheat sheet perform the step it tells me "the command dis not complete successfully" The version is old - how do I get rid of this ans isntall the newest? Thanks This might help others.
