Does Drools Eclipse IDE run on 64 bit linux? I have a fresh install of eclipse IDE. I installed the GEF plugin from here: http://archive.eclipse.org/tools/gef/downloads/drops/3.5.1/R200909151220/... I tried to use the Drools Eclipse update site here: http://downloads.jboss.com/drools/updatesite3.5/ but it does not list me any content. So I manually downloaded the tools from here: http://www.jboss.org/drools/downloads.html When I start up my eclipse and try to open the sample project I see the error below. Any help is much appreciated ... I am at a bit of a loss where to go from here, Thanks Sharon !SESSION 2010-12-07 15:35:11.808 ----------------------------------------------- eclipse.buildId=M20090917-0800 java.version=1.6.0_22 java.vendor=Sun Microsystems Inc.
