To use WindowBuilder in Linux, we recommend that you use an official JDK from Sun, not the (buggy) GPL version of Java that most vendors ship. Here are some setup instructions for using Sun’s java with Fedora Core and Debian. Note that use of a non-Sun JDK can result in Eclipse locking up. Using Sun’s Java with Fedora Core: • Download and Unpack Sun’s JDK .bin format. • If you wish to use java on the command line or with other programs besides eclipse add the following to your /etc/profile JAVA_HOME = PATH= $PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin Export JAVA_HOME PATH • Install Sun’s java as alternative #/usr/sbin/alternatives -install /usr/bin/java java 2 • Switch to the new alternative #/usr/sbin/alternatives -config java Select option 2 • Test #/usr/sbin/alternatives -display java You should see java pointing to the Sun JDK.
