So I've been fighting with Eclipse for the last 2 days now. Let me just say that installing Eclipse from the Ubuntu repositories equals a really crappy Eclipse experience. I wasn't able to add or update anything successfully from any of the Eclipse repositories. It was beyond horrible. I'm guessing that it was mostly because it was an older version. But shouldn't Eclipse be able to update even itself to the latest version? I'm not happy with Eclipse's package management much either. Somewhere along the line something has got to be able to update itself to the latest version and both products didn't work very well.
So now I'm installing it all manually. Never again to trust that Ubuntu can install correct versions from its repository and never again to believe that when an old version is installed that Eclipse can actually update itself properly either. Sometimes you just gotta get it done yourself!
