[23:00] <g-hennux> hi!
[23:01] <g-hennux> when installing eclipse, this pulls a lot of dependencies that have "gcj" in their name. this is the gnu java compiler, right?
[23:02] <g-hennux> isn't gcj an alternative to sun java? and if so, isn't it possible to use the sun java when installing eclipse and get around all those gcj-dependencies?
[23:07] <g-hennux> when i say sudo apt-get install eclipse-platform, this will pull java-gcj-compat, although packages.ubuntu.com says that java2-runtime, which is provided by sun-java6-jre (which is installed), is also enough
[23:11] <g-hennux> it seems as if "sudo apt-get install eclipse-platform java-gcj-compat- gcj-4.2-base- gcj-4.3-base- libgcj-common-" does what i want
