Does anybody have good install instruction for eclipse. Eclipse runs fine from the command line, but I would like to create a shortcut on the desktop. Any suggestions? Thanks Stinky

The x-term starts up for a split sec and then dies. But thanks for the help. I want to put a shortcut on the desktop.

Eclipse is a Java based IDE that must be executed within it's current directory to start. The only way I know to get it to start with a shortcut is to write a script to launch it.

Here's a sample:

#!/bin/sh
cd "path to eclipse"
./eclipse

Now save the script as 'eclipse' and then

chmod +x eclipse

and place it in /home/yourname/bin (assuming /home/yourname/bin is in your path and you have a bin in your home directory. RedHat doesn't make a bin in your home directory by default but it is in your path by default.

Then you can startup exclipse by simply typing eclipse at the command line or making a shortcut to eclipse.
