Eclipse + Subclipse + Javadoc setup

I have spent some time setting Eclipse 3.5 up with Ubuntu 8.04 LTS. The basic set-up is as simple as uncompressing the newest version for Linux, as described here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EclipseIDE. There were some problems at first trying to set it up together with Subclipse - namely it complained about "unable to load default SVN client"...

After googling a bit, there was this thread on ubuntuforums.org, that came with some answers. After writing this in the "eclipse.ini" after "-vmargs":
-Djava.library.path=/usr/share/java/
-Djava.library.path=/usr/lib/jni/

as well as after installing the newer version of Subversion from the backports repository plus these additional plugins (form the URL Subclipse provided):
-- SVNKit, SVNKit Client Adapter, SVNKit Library, JNA Library
it worked just fine. It may sound like a lot of work, but it didn't take much time actually.

Another thing worth setting up in Eclipse is the javadoc:
-> in the package properties there is the rt.jar file.
-> in its properties, a javadoc location should be added (it's a local file in my configuration, something like "file:/usr/share/javadoc/docs/api/"
