Let me preface this with I am a complete newbie to Eclipse. I decided to try it out for a project I am working on and it worked well, so I am using it more and more. The problem is that I had an issue with Eclipse locking up and went to the pydev site. I looked at the FAQ and saw: http://pydev.sourceforge.net/faq.html#ref_8 At the end, it says that there was a bug before 0.9.8.6 that is causing the issue I am having. It looks like Fedora is packaged with 0.9.3, so this bug is still present. It looks to me like 1.0.6 is out, is there any chance we can get this updated in rawhide? I tried to just do it by hand, by recompiling the source rpm, but it looks like the stuff in the SRPM was from some CVS, which wasn't too specific. So, I thought I'd file a bug and hope that someone who knows this stuff better than I could get this upgraded. Thanks!

Versions after the one we shipped in FC4 (and are still shipping in FC5) use java 1.5-isms that we can't compile. People often suggest using retroweaver but that requires you to be able to compile the 1.5 bytecode to begin with which we of course can't do. Yes, we have a 1.5 compiler with ecj but without the proper class library support in GNU Classpath (libgcj in this case), we're dead in the water. We're hoping that this situation (1.5 stuff) is resolved sometime this year but I don't know if we'll have everything in place for FC6. > I tried to just do it by hand, by recompiling the source rpm, but it looks like > the stuff in the SRPM was from some CVS, which wasn't too specific. Yeah, the source generation isn't the most straightforward thing. I'll ask Igor to put a comment in the specfile regarding how the source was generated. Perhaps we can pull a specific patch in from the more recent versions of pydev? Sorry, Andrew
