Is there a package that installs Eclipse under Gutsy with Sun Java, not
Gnu Java? I've tried Eclipse with Gnu Java and it just does not work.

You can launch Synaptic Package Manager and do a search for "java". you
should find sun_java on the list of packages to select as well as the
current java to "remove".

OK, that got me to synaptic which has the 'aptitude show' function built
in much like a preview window. What I did after that is check the box
for eclipse, found out what it wanted to install (all were -gcj), then
cleared that and added the packages manually (non -gcj) that the
original eclipse install would have done.

All is good. No -gcj on the system at all.

I think you could have saved yourself some time and trouble by simply
installing the sun java packages, then running

sudo update-alternatives --config java

and choosing the sun option.

Possibly, if I had known about update-alternatives. Not exactly one of
the advertised procedures. Other than the email time, it only took
about 5 minutes to get Eclipse installed.

Thanks for the pointer.
