Eclipse & Oracle10g-EE

[Ali Helmy]

Hey,

About Eclipse, why isn't the version with fedora good enough? Are there some
bugs or problems I should know about? I am going to develop the app as a
java program, to work on windows JVM, but I'm going to develop it on FC4...
What version do you think I should use?

About source control, I haven't really thought about which one to use, but I
think I will stick to CVS since it's most popular on the www, and since you
say it fits with Eclipse...

About DBMS, as I said, I want the app to work on windows in the end, so
Oracle is the DBMS I know that has both linux & SQL distributions... Are
there any others that are good enough? I won't be needing any complex
features, just normal SQL queries...

Thanks
