I would like to upgrade from eclipse 3.0 (which comes with SUSE9.3) to
eclipse 3.1

Is it just a matter of going to eclipse.org and downloading
eclipse_sdk_3.1_linux_gtk_x86_64.tar.gz and then unpacking these files to
replace the files in /usr/share/eclipse ?
(I am using an athlon 64bit system)

This download has the following warning:
"This build requires a 64 bit JVM. It will not run with a 32 bit JVM. You
can for example download Sun 64 bit 1.5 JVM for AMD64. Note that Sun 1.4.2
JVM for AMD64 is 32 bit and cannot be used to run this build."

SUSE9.3 comes with 1.4.2 but there is also a 1.5.0 version not yet
installed. How do I switch to use jvm 1.5 ? are there any configuration
files that I have to edit to do this? Or would it be better to download the
32bit version of eclipse?

Thanks,

Martin
