Re: Recognizing gcj as default StandardVM (JRE System Library)

[Jan Schulz <jasc dot usenet at gmx dot de>]

Hallo Mark,

Just something about me: I'm the debian maintainer of the eclipse
packages and I taking this list and the binaries as something to learn
from :) I would really be happy if eclipse could be run with a free
VM. Unfortunatelly I don't have much experience with gcj, so please be
patient with me. But I will read up te required knowledge...

Does this mean that eclipse will run with a (patched?) gcj as
'*/bin/java' (not native, but in the VM)?

[running natively]
What will happen with all the plugins? Are they still recognised when
eclipse is started as native binary? Are they still runable?

File a bugreport :)
