Hi Jukka,

I'm running eclipse 3.2.0 without any apparent problems under dwm (hg
tip version) using:

Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_08-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 1.5.0_08-b03, mixed mode)

on a Gentoo AMD64 system, kernel 2.6.17-gentoo-r8

I do have problems with a Java app that I wrote myself (client does
correctly respond to resizing, see also the thread "[dwm] question about
java/swing and dwm") and those problems do not occur with JRE 1.4.2 but
they also occur for the IBM Java 5.0 and the beta version of Sun's Java 6.

cheers,
Anthony
