Hi Arnaud,

Firstly, why not just 'apt-get install sablevm' ?  The 1.1.9-1 Debian
packages are available in Sarge and should run Eclipse just fine.

Please take a look at http://sablevm.org/wiki/Eclipse and use the script
shown there to start Eclipse.  It is also recommended that you install
xerces and xalan libraries, because Eclipse works more reliable with
them.  The script is so written, it will pick them up if you have them
installed on Debian system. Just:
'apt-get install libxalan2-java libxerces2-java'

Let us know how it went,

PS: Please send such questions to the mailing list.  There is nothing
private in your questions. 

PPS: If you want to compile sablevm from sources the fastest way to get
all the build dependencies for it is to run as root:
'apt-get build-dep sablevm sablevm-classlib'

This will install all packages you need to build your own version of
SableVM - be it Debian package or from upstream sources.
