Bug Description

Hi,

I use ubuntu lucid with eclipse.
I installed eclipse from the ubuntu repository but, the plug-ins installer (Install new software) does not worked.
I found many people with the same problem that suggest to install the eclipse-pde package.
Installing this package will solve this problem.

Hi

Most of the eclipse mentions this in their extended description since Lucid...

eclipse-platform:
"This package is the base for all eclipse plug-ins. Please note that many plugins will fail to install if you don't have the eclipse-pde package installed."

eclipse-jdt, eclipse-pde:
"Please note that many plugins will fail to install if you don't have the eclipse-pde package installed."

eclipse:
"This package provides the whole Eclipse SDK, along with the Java Development Tools (JDT) and the Plugin Development Environment (PDE). Please note that many plugins will fail to install if you don't have the eclipse-pde package installed."

You have not attached any data about which version you use; are you using eclipse from Karmic, Lucid or Maverick?
