weird myeclipse

I got this weird problem with myeclipse that after installing it eclipse just turned out no responding. Then system files and directories began to disappear after I forced eclipse terminated, which resulted in system boot failure when the machine is restarted. I got the myeclipse from their official site... I don't know if there was any virus... anyway, fedora reinstalled.

I started to read some codes of RDAHMM. I think I can begin from the function for analysis of svn diff output before understanding the detailed flows.

The mid-term exams are coming next week, so probably I'll get little time with the project... But the courses are just getting more interesting, hehe.

I'm sorry to hear you first experience with MyEclipse turned out a little strange.

MyEclipse is installed as a "product extension" of Eclipse, meaning all the MyEclipse plugins are placed in a separate directory, then linked into your Eclipse install.

Since MyEclipse is only a large set of Eclipse plugins that all together comprise the MyEclipse product, I have absolutely no idea why files suddenly started disappearing off your hard drive.

That sounds either like a hardware failure (your disk might be going bad, make sure to backup important files in case it does) or some other kind of failure.

It certainly sounds *like* a virus, but I'm not aware of any aggressive Linux viruses at the moment that would do something like that.

I hope if you try MyEclipse out a second time you have a much better experience.
