[Gvsig_english] QUESTION gvSIG 1.9 (BN 1253) -- Eclipse Setup on Ubuntu

[César Martínez Izquierdo]

Hello Simon,

I don't think Synaptic installs eclipse under ~/.eclipse.
Probably, this directory only contains configuration files,
information about the location of the workspaces, etc.

You can check this on your own, as you can see the files installed by
the Ubuntu package by writing in the command line:

dpkg -L eclipse

I hope this helps.
Best regards,

César
