Actually, it did.  I downloaded and installed Sun's latest JDK and it
worked as expected.  But it just won't work with IBM's JDK on the
Extras disc as Red Hat's Eclipse Release Notes indicates it should.
Has this been bugzilla bug #114354 biting me in the butt the whole
time?

If so, then until such time as IBM fixes their JVM to work with Red
Hat's Enterprise product AND Red Hat pushes out an Extras errata, I
*STRONGLY* recommend that you change the release notes to remove IBM's
1.4.1 JRE from the list of compatible JREs!  It's wasted a *LOT* of my
time incorrectly figuring that I was doing something wrong or missing
some critical step along the way!
