Incompatibility between Eclipse and Fedora 7?

I have just started working on a new computer that has Fedora 7 installed on it. I downloaded the latest version of Eclipse, but i am having difficulties in debugging my code. It seems that I can`t debug at all...and I get an error message saying that "cannot connect to VM". I checked online but i could`t find an explanation that would apply to my problem. Why can`t i debug?

Maybe because Eclipse can't connect to the VM. Did you consider asking at an Eclipse forum?

If you're using Fedora's Eclipse, it uses GCJ, rather than a VM.

I've had some problems with Fedora's Eclipse too. The solution always seems to be Netbeans.

Actually, the problem is that Fedora doesn't come with a JVM and SDK set. It uses GNU Classpath exclusively. You'll have to download an SDK bundled with a JVM in RPM format, install that, and tell Eclipse where to find it.

Gimme a holler if you can't get it to work, and I'll sign on to Fedora to refresh my memory.

Another solution is to get eclipse that is compiled for fedora 7. Check out http://sourceware.org/eclipseCheers.Jeff.
