Fixed a strange Eclipse and Ubuntu error
I started to develop some applications via Eclipse using Apache Wicket. I’m using the maven plugin for eclipse and using the wicket archetype to setup the project. One issue I have on Linux that I didn’t have on Windows is that I was unable to run on server, so I couldn’t debug or view my code changes live. I’m using Eclipse Helios, Java JDK 1.6.0 Update 21, Ubuntu 10.04. One issue perhaps is that I’m using the amd64 version (x86_64 or whatever its now called). After reinstalling Java and Eclipse multiple times I finally found out the problem. Out of the box I have to change the project settings. Under the Properties for a project I click Project Facets and change Java 1.5 to Java 1.4 and amazingly, that fixed it. If you’re running into a similar problem, try that out! It took my a while to figure it out, and I don’t know why it works but it does.
