Please test alpha13 that was released today.

Does not work with alpha 13 either

I suppose it is a java 1.7 incompatibility since it doesnot work with openjdk-1.7 either

[Comment 6 Pierre Colot 2007-07-25 21:32:46 UTC]

Even eclipse 3.3 is not totally compatible with Java 1.6.Some plugins require
Java 1.5 like TDTD. The generated error is not easily related to the Java
version 1.6 but to an unreckognized SaxParser. The version recommanded by eclipse for eclipse 3.3 is java 1.5
 
So, Eclipse 3.2 with sun-jdk-1.7 is now highly improbable.I suppose the best version for eclipse 3.2 is java 1.4

eclipse-sdk 3.3 works with sun-jdk-1.7.0.0_alpha24

[Comment 8 Jean-Noël Rivasseau (RETIRED) 2008-03-11 09:09:00 UTC]

Closing, as using JDK 1.7 with Eclipse 3.2 is not supported by upstream. 1.7 on 3.3 is also not supported but apparently works.
