1) Eclipse is broken...can't be fixed by uninstall / install.
Not broken - I think your settings file is corrupt - see my previous post. Still - it doesn't matter if you can't use it with IBM's Java for what you want it to do.
2) The defacto java compiler supplied in YDL is out-of date. Any software development language in the year 2009
must support GUI development! The version supplied with YDL fails miserably with this.
It's not out of date - it's just not Java. Since YDL uses only open source code - they use the open source version of Java - GCJ. That's why we replace it with IBM's Java. GCJ is known to have issues with standard Java compatibility and speed.
3) I have gone back to using IBM's java with the necessary symbolic link to use writing java programs with on the PS3 with an alternative source editor.
Probably for the best. IBM's Java might even be better than Sun's Java. It's definitely a good Java. You may have to add an occasional Sun library - but that's easy to do.
4) I have had to abandon YDL's Eclipse version as my source editor-of-choice due to it instability and again, old release version ( 3.2 )
It works fine in 6.0, though, with the same version.
Weird, huh? I still think I can figure out how to get it to work with 6.1 - but that might be a loser's game.
Paul, thanks for all your assistance and expertise thru this, but I think the problem really lies with Terrasoft and their YDL. Hope they lurk here on the board and take note of problems the users are encountering with their product.
No problem.
As for the YDL engineers monitoring this forum, they kinda do - but the best way to reach them about issues is via their bug tracking system - bugzilla:
