Hi Fred
I hat some weird graphical issues with Eclipse. Is there a vertical scrollbar beneath the big white field where there should be some lines with checkboxes?
If there is, make sure the width of the “Name” and “Version” column is narrow enough, so that the scrollbar do not appear, which will make some text will appear in the field.
I know it sounds weird, but I have been fighting a lot with this issue, and thought is was my computer only :)
Best regards
Christoffer

If you installed Eclipse through Ubuntu package management, there was an update today which, for me, fixed the problem.

Finally! I’ve been trying to get past the ‘looking for dependencies’ thing while installing pdt into eclipse for a few days, and thanks to your instructions it appears that I finally did get around it.
The wait is now for the install to finish and verify that it actually will work.
