can't save license on fedora eclipse

[cbsensis]

I have fedora core 5, and fedora eclipse installed from the fedora distribution. I switched out the GNU java, and am using Sun JRE 1.5.0.

I installed the oxygen 7.2.0 plugin successfully, but have a license issue.

each time I launch eclipse, a dialog opens asking for the oxygen license. I can enter it, and oxygen works fine. next time i launch eclipse, it asks for the license again.

I presume this is a permissions issue for wherever oxygen tries to store the license. any workarounds?

Hello,

The oXygen plugin needs write permission for the home folder of the user that owns the Eclipse process. In this folder the oXygen plugin creates the subfolder .com.oxygenxml where the license key will be stored. Normally any user has write permission on his home folder so you should not need to allow any new permission for the user that starts Eclipse. Does the Error Log view of Eclipse contain any error message about the oXygen plugin?

I switched out the GNU java, and am using Sun JRE 1.5.0.

What is the value of the property java.vm.vendor that you can see in Help -> About Eclipse -> Configuration Details? Is it Sun Microsystems?

Edit the file /etc/eclipse/java_home (or the filelocation specific to your unix-distro) and delete the invalid vm-homes from the file. Then it should work.
