I did install a 1.7 JVM, although I never verified that it's actually 1.7 that is used. I'll have to check that.

Here's the log:

I'm suspecting it doesn't use the correct JRE. I tried to force Eclipse use 1.7 but I doesn't seem to work.

It's still using 1.6. You can see it in the log, look for this line:
java.runtime.version=1.6.0_51-b11-457-11M4509

Cool. It would have been amateurish of Eclipse to not have this funcionality, in one way or another.

Hum, I guess the annoyance is proportional to the amount of extra plugins you have. Personally I usually only have 1 or 2, the rest comes bundled with Eclipse, but I can definitely see that a lot of users could have a lot more extra plug-ins.

CDT, CUTE, Ceylon, Groovy, Gradle, Grails, Dart, TestNG, Go, Android, PyDev, Clojure, JavaScript

Not to mention that the default CSS for Eclipse is seriously broken and has to be amended manually.

You can override the CSS of the default themes by placing a new CSS file in the directory ~/.e4css . For example I have placed there a modified e4_classic_winxp.css that has simple tab style activated. (swt-simple: true;)

This will survive across updates, unlike if you change the files in plugins/org.eclipse.platform_4.*/css

Sir, you are an hero. Consider yourself owed a beverage of your choosing.

Sad that they haven't followed the http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html guidelines for locating config, cache, etc. files.

Great!
But after download and install of the eclipse-kepler linux32 runtime and adding the repo http://updates.ddt.googlecode.com/git/ to the "available software sites" to install DDT the following error occurs:

Both locations do not seem to have the content.xml file??
Any help is appreciated.

I finally managed to get it to work by uninstalling Java 1.6, installing 1.7 and then trick Mac OS X to think that the 1.7 version was 1.6. Thanks for the help.
