The artifact file for osgi.bundle, org.eclipse.ant.ui,3.4.1.v20090901_r351 was not found.

The fix I found was to make sure you have both the eclipse-jdt and eclipse-pde packages installed:

sudo aptitude install eclipse-jdt eclipse-pde

Once I had the above installed, restarted Eclipse, and installed the ADT plugin, everything worked as expected.

Raknet is a cross-platform C++ game networking engine. It is designed to be a high performance, easy to integrate, and complete solution for games and other applications.

Unfortunately, on my Ubuntu Jaunty system, g++-4.3 was installed by default which caused RakNet to fail on compilation. There were a bunch of errors in the DS_Map.h include file, including:

../Raknet/DS_Map.h:90: error: template argument 3 is invalid

After some trial and error I found that if you install the g++-4.2 development package and use the g++-4.2 binary, RakNet compiles and runs just fine.

From a terminal window:
sudo apt-get install g++-4.2

After installing the package above, I also needed to change which g++ binary my Eclipse project was using. I did this by going to the “Project” menu and clicking “Properties”. When the Properties window opens, click on “C/C++ Build” on the left side, then click on “GCC C++ Compiler” on the right. Where it shows the command to be run, change the command to read: g++-4.2.

One of the best features about modern IDEs is auto completion, or as Eclipse calls it Content Assist. Its job is to monitor what you type and offer you possible functions that you have access to from within the current context. For example, if I had the following declared in my new CS project:

csRef<iPcDefaultCamera> pccamera = CEL_QUERY_PROPCLASS_ENT (player_entity, iPcDefaultCamera);

You would then be able to type pccamera followed by ->. When this is seen by the content assist, it builds a list of possible functions that the pccamera variable has access to call and displays them to you as a pop up listbox.

The image of content assist in action shown above took about 1.5 seconds to appear, now that my system is fixed. However, before I discovered the fix content assist took at least 10-12 seconds to work! If you are having the same issue that I did, you can check out the post that helped me out here, or just follow the directions below which worked on my Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04 system.

From a terminal window:
sudo apt-get install eclipse-cdt sun-java6-jdk
sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun
sudo -b gedit /etc/jvm

When gedit opens up the /etc/jvm file, insert the following line at the top:
/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun

From a terminal window:
sudo -b gedit /etc/eclipse/java_home

When gedit opens up the /etc/eclipse/java_home file, insert the following line at the top:
/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun

If you have lots of RAM you can even play around with adjusting the heap size available to Eclipse. I’d suggest you read the original article here which talks more about it.

My desktop system now runs the latest stable release of Ubuntu, which at the time of this writing is 8.10 with the release of Jaunty 9.04 right around the corner. Fortunately, I didn’t have to do anything special to get the 9600 GT to work with this version of Ubuntu. I would highly recommend anyone using an older version of Ubuntu to upgrade to the latest version, not only for the latest NVidia drivers but also for the large list of other software that is now available to you.

If you have Ubuntu 8.10 or later installed, you can use the “Hardware Drivers” program found under the System->Administration menu to properly detect and install the best drivers for your card. After doing this, I rebooted my system and had full use of my NVidia 9600 GT, along with all the compiz fanciness that comes with it.

Hope this helps.
