Fix Eclipse crashing on Ubuntu 8.04

I’ve had some problems with Eclipse 3.3, Ubuntu 8.04 and Java JVM 1.6, just crashing mostly. There are a slew of fixes out there, but this simple fix has seemed to work so far…


Edit eclipse.ini to explicitly add details for the vm Eclipse needs to use:

-vm
/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/bin/java

HTH.
