UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Hello there

I am having the following problem: I installed Eclipse on my computer and when I went to Applications->Programmng->Eclipse it says: The custom VM you have chosen is not a valid executable.

I am pretty new to Ubuntu ( 1 week ) so after I first googled this problem: I did the following:

Code:

$sudo update-java-alternatives --list

Output:

Code:

java-6-sun 63 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun
java-gcj 1042 /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj

$gksudo gedit /etc/eclipse/java_home

And in my java_home file I do have:

Code:

/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-icedtea
/usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj
/usr/lib/kaffe/pthreads
/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun
/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun
/usr/lib/j2se/1.5

From my terminal, if I type in $eclipse, I get:
using specified vm:

Code:

/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.06;

which I suppose it's good, the jvm is from sun, yet the problem exists.
What should I do? I have Jaunty..

Thank you
