    i got the pulse install started in windows. i found out that i have to also check the ssl option for the proxy.

    however, i am still having problems getting the pulse started in ubuntu linux.

    any love?

    ok…i got the pulse install started in ubuntu 7.10 and got to install myeclipse successfully. the problem was i wasnt using the correct jre/jdk. when i installed ubuntu 7.10, i used the jdk that came with it (ubuntu). in the poweredbypulse.com forum, i came across a post that suggests using the jdk from sun. so i installed it and then started pulse again and viola, it worked!!!

    Total newbie here. I am getting the same error on Ubuntu 7.10. But according to Synaptic, I have the Sun JDK and JRE installed. How do I verify I have the right ones installed? Could there be another problem?

    Solved my problem — I needed to use the ‘update-java-alternatives’ command to make the sun VM the primary one. Perhaps somebody can explain to me why:

    a) Ubuntu doesn’t just use the Sun JRE since it has now been open sourced
    b) Pulse needs the sun one in order to work properly
    c) Pulse doesn’t check to see which java version is present and give you a warning
