How to Run Eclipse?

Hey guys,

Sorry if this is a silly question but...

I downloaded the Springsource tool suite, but now can't run it.  It ran after install (when I checked the box), but I can't figure out how to start it now.  The readme only gave the path to the windows executable, but I'm running on Linux and told the installer to install it under $HOME/, but there are only four directories under there, dm-server-1.0.2.SR02,  roo-1.0.0.RC3 , sts-2.2.1.RELEASE,  tc-server-6.0.20.C, and can't find an eclipse executable anywhere.  Am I confused about what the spriingsource tool suite is?  Does it include eclipse or not?

Anyway, thanks for your help.

/sts-2.2.1.RELEASE/STS

Sorry if this is a silly question but...

There really aren't any silly questions only insufficient documentation.

To launch STS double click a file called 'STS' in your HOME//sts-2.2.1.RELEASE folder. Or use a shell or terminal to do the following:

cd $USER_HOME//sts-2.2.1.RELEASE
./STS

Thanks!  BTW, the offending documentation is from the readme_eclipse.html undering Running Eclipse:

lt;pgt;After installing the Eclipse SDK in a directory, you can start the Workbench
by running the Eclipse executable included with the release (you also need a 1.4.2
JRE, not included with the Eclipse SDK). On Windows, the executable file is called lt;sampgt;eclipse.exelt;/sampgt;,
and is located in the lt;codegt;eclipselt;/codegt; sub-directory of the install. If
installed at lt;codegt;c:\eclipse-SDK-3.5-win32lt;/codegt;, the executable is lt;codegt;c:\eclipse-SDK-3.5-win32\eclipse\eclipse.exelt;/codegt;.

lt;bgt;Note:lt;/bgt; Set-up on most other operating environments is analogous. Special
instructions for Mac OS X are listed lt;a hrcf=quot;#macosxquot;gt;belowlt;/agt;.lt;/pgt;

You see that the executable name isn't specified for other OSs.

Anyway, thanks very much!
