It turns out to be so easy~

OpenOffice is capable of opening Office07 formatted files DIRECTLY!

What a surprise!

Configuring Subversive and Eclipse under Ubuntu

I was once greatly depressed by Ubuntu not integrating later version of Eclipse as its package. It almost drove me think of running away from Ubuntu. (Do not laugh at me. I hate the trouble of configuring it manually). Yesterday, however, I decided to configure... MANUALLY

Installing Eclipse is easy. Download and extract the files into the appropriate place.

To install Subversive, the first thing needed is the JavaHL package named libsvn-java.

And then modify eclipse.ini as:

-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
-vmargs
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.5
-Djava.library.path=/usr/lib/jni
-Xms40m
-Xmx512m
-XX:MaxPermSize=400m

The last thing is to install the packages of Subversive following the instructions in its official site. Note : JavaHL Win32 Binaries is not needed.
