[Bug 481565] Re: Install new software... wont open and I lost all my plugins since upgrade

[Peter Nagy]

I solved the case by doing the following:
1. in /usr/lib/eclipse I changed the files owner group from "root" to "users" (sudo chown -R root:users *)
2. I added write permission to the group on all files (sudo chmod -R g+r *)
The installation issue were solved with tha, I'm able to update plugins although the already installed plugins it wasn't able see or use.
So I decided to remove everything with purge (in Synaptic I filtered for "eclipse" and marked all the packages starting with "eclipse" to purge) after I saved my workspace folder to be on the safe side. I took some time and some files it was not able to remove (like configuration folder in /usr/lib/eclipse) so I removed them manually.
After that I reinstalled all the needed "eclipse" packages from synaptic, and voilá: it just works. :)
