Bug Description
Binary package hint: eclipse
Description: Ubuntu hardy (development branch)
Release: 8.04
eclipse:
Installed: 3.2.2-5ubuntu2
Candidate: 3.2.2-5ubuntu2
Version table:
*** 3.2.2-5ubuntu2 0
Eclipse 3.2.2 uses /ect/eclipse/
Two solutions may be applied,
1) For the version of 3.2.2, a new location /usr/lib/
2) It seems that the new version of eclipse, 3.3.2, has changed its jdk search mechanism. It can locate openjdk-6 without modifying java_home. Thus, it will be appreciative to upgrade to a new version.

I prefer this one, but have you tested it? With IcedTea it didn't even start up

I'm afraid this won't happen for Hardy, so we should concentrate on the first point.
