Bug Description
Binary package hint: eclipse
When starting eclipse (3.2.1-2ubuntu1) I get the following output in the shell:
-------
$ eclipse
searching for compatible vm...
testing /usr/lib/
Could not create /usr/local/
touch /usr/local/
chmod 2775 /usr/local/
chown root:staff /usr/local/
-------
I think that should get done by the package installation procedure itself.

I too get this error and When I try to install a plugin in the directory /usr/local/ lib/eclipse/ from Eclipse Update manager I cant do that and I get the following error Cant update because the Eclipse can't create directory inside /usr/local/ lib/eclipse/ *
I had to do the following
sudo chmod 755 /usr/lib/eclipse
and I was able to do that but I am unable to figure out what the exact policy for File permissions should be so that other users may also use the plugins...
