The same setup also works for the older eclipse-SDK-2.1.1-linux-gtk.zip.

This isn't necessary since I was using an "old" kaffe from CVS. In
recent CVS this and this has already been merged. (I was only 4 days
behind, but lots has changed and eclipse feels much more stable!).

And with one more patch to remove an assert() you can also get the
Windows->Open Perspective->CVS Repository Exploring working.

This patch is also probably not a good idea, but hey, we want
screenshots!. And Tada, new screeny, actual checkout of kaffe inside
Eclipse with "visual compare" function:

A quick look doesn't show that much spectacular things (which
corresponds with the general feeling that most things just work!). It
seems that the JNI swt bindings use some other things which are not
implemented/produce NullPointerExceptions, but strangely this does not
really impact usability.

The interesting one is:

java.io.UTFDataFormatException: byte #5 invalid
   at kaffe.util.UTF8.decode (UTF8.java:87)
   at java.io.DataInputStream.readUTF (DataInputStream.java:175)
   at java.io.DataInputStream.readUTF (DataInputStream.java:171)
   at java.io.ObjectInputStream.readClassDescriptor (ObjectInputStream.java:424)   at java.io.ObjectInputStream.readObject (ObjectInputStream.java:226)
   at java.io.ObjectInputStream.readObject (ObjectInputStream.java:272)
   at org.eclipse.core.internal.runtime.AuthorizationDatabase.load (AuthorizationDatabase.java:270)
   [...]

This is probably kaffe serializing something to a file and beig unable
to deserialize it from that same file. Either writing or reading is
broken.

There are also some problems when running Ant on a project, but since
Ant almost immediatly cries that it cannot find tools.jar I have ignored
it.

Cheers,

Mark
