What puzzles me that without WOLips it works OK - Eclipse 3.4.2 can be
used when installed as root:admin. The problem occurs only after
WOLips is installed.
Could someone test if the same problem occurs with some other 3rd
party plugins, ie not WOLips? That way we could determine if it's
Eclipse or WOLips problem. I lack enough experience with other plugins.
I am hoping that some mechanism changed in Eclipse that WOLips did not
account for. That should be fixable the easiest.
Thanks
Best regards
Rudy
