Apple Mavericks and Eclipse

Hello! I recently did the upgrade to Mac OS X Mavericks, and then attempted to launch Eclipse. It failed, saying that I needed to have version of Java installed. I hadn't installed one previously, using the native Java contained in Mountain Lion. So, I downloaded and installed the JDK from Oracle, tried to launch Eclipse, and it failed again. Time to hit Google! A quick search led me to this install, which, when completed, allowed me to use Eclipse normally again. http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US So, if you want to run Eclipse on your Mavericks machine, it looks like you'll at least need to have the above.

I installed Maverick last night, and the installation crashed! It took me a couple hours to get it fixed. I think my hard drive was too full, although it had 25% free. Anyway, upgrade to Maverick, but don't to it when you are in a hurry.

I'd be interested in hearing if anybody was able to get Eclipse running without installing the new Java. Mark
