pydev dependencies

I do not have exactly fresh 6.10, but if I try it with edgy chroot, it tries
to install gcj java.

Please, could you try installing eclipse-platform alone? This one should
depend on java-gcj-compat, that yields java interpreter.

Thank you.

Could you please look, which installed package provides java run-time so that eclipse-platform does not install java-gcj-compat?

You can get Eclipse and Pydev running by installing mentioned java-gcj-compat package (or any other run-time listed above). However, you know this most likely.

I've solved the problem by installing sun-java5-jdk.
sun-java5-jdk provides: java-compiler, java2-compiler

To get back to a clean system I tried to deinstall all java / eclipse /pydev related packages using:

sudo apt-get autoremove eclipse-pydev sun-java5-jre

As per your request:
sudo apt-get install eclipse-platform:

The following extra packages will be installed:
  ant eclipse-rcp java-common libbcel-java libcommons-beanutils-java
  libcommons-collections-java libcommons-collections3-java
  libcommons-dbcp-java libcommons-digester-java libcommons-el-java
  libcommons-launcher-java libcommons-logging-java libcommons-modeler-java
  libcommons-pool-java libjsch-java liblog4j1.2-java liblucene-java
  liblucene-java-doc libmx4j-java libregexp-java libservlet2.4-java
  libswt3.2-gtk-java libswt3.2-gtk-jni libtomcat5.5-java
Suggested packages:
  ant-doc eclipse-jdt eclipse-pde equivs libbcel-java-doc
  libcommons-beanutils-java-doc libcommons-collections-java-doc
  libcommons-collections3-java-doc liblogkit-java libavalon-framework-java
  libgnumail-java tomcat4 tomcat5 jython tomcat5.5
Recommended packages:
  ant-optional jikes java-compiler eclipse-platform-gcj eclipse
  eclipse-rcp-gcj libswt3.2-gtk-gcj
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  ant eclipse-platform eclipse-rcp java-common libbcel-java
  libcommons-beanutils-java libcommons-collections-java

I see no java compiler there!

Also with:
sudo apt-get install eclipse-platform-gcj

No compiler!
java-compiler is recommended, but not installed.

sudo apt-get install java-compiler:

Package java-compiler is a virtual package provided by:
  sun-java5-jdk 1.5.0-08-0ubuntu1
  jikes-sun 0.9
  j2sdk1.4 1.4.2.02-1ubuntu3
  kaffe-pthreads 2:1.1.7-4
  kaffe-jthreads 2:1.1.7-4
  jikes-sablevm 1.13-1
  jikes-kaffe 2:1.1.7-4
  jikes-gij 1:1.22-4
  jikes-classpath 2:0.92-3
  eclipse-ecj-gcj 3.1.2-3ubuntu1
  eclipse-ecj 3.1.2-3ubuntu1
  gcj-4.1 4.1.1-14ubuntu7
  gcj 4:4.1.1-6ubuntu3
You should explicitly select one to install.

It seems that the developers really want to force the user to choose his/her own java-compiler.

I'm not sure if I answered all your questions, please let me know if you need to know anything else.

The problem is in the eclipse dependencies. eclipse-platform depends on java-gcj-compat | java-runtime1 | java-runtime2. Anyone of these should yield jvm for eclipse. However, gij-4.1 installed on default Edgy provides java-runtime1, but does not suffice to run eclipse.

We are working on some fix.

Great! Thanks for your time responding to my bug report.

And thanks for you bug report! We did not spot this and it is not really
fair that when you try apt-get install anything on clean install that it
does not work.
