Re: jde installation error

>From memory, to get the install to work you just edit the
/usr/share/doc-base/jde file that it is complaining about
and move the line beginning with 'Document:' to be the first
line in the file. (I think it comes with the 'Document:' line
as the second one in the file for some reason.)

Cheers,
James.
