Next I went to the Eclipse downloads home to get the next vital piece of Java development kit. I just extracted the Linux archive file into a subdirectory of my home directory, navigated into that folder and executed it. It started up right away using the 1.4.2 GCJ Java SDK that comes with Ubuntu.
The next thing I added to Eclipse was subversion support. First I went to Window->Preferences->Install/Update in Eclipse to add the HTTP proxy for my corporate firewall. Then I followed the subeclipse instructions for downlading and installing from within Eclipse.
I also need CVS for some projects but for some reason I could not get that to work from within Eclipse even after I had installed the system CVS from the Ubuntu installer. So in the end I used the command-line CVS to check out my module and din an Import from within Eclipse to read it in.
I used Windows->Preferences->Java-Installed JREs to add my newly installed Sun JDK 1.5. Then I set the Java compiler level to 5.0 so that my code would compile OK.

You too can unfurl some turf and create a suprisingly congenial small park in an urban parking space.

This anarchist analysis of the 1916 rising and the Irish War of Independence has some interesting points of view that I had not heard before. The author claims for example that the reason that the British agreed to come to terms with Sinn Fein is that they were terrified of much more radical left-wing movements in Ireland and Britain.
