Ubuntu – Software location after installing via Ubuntu Software Center

eclipsesoftware-center

Let me tell you my problem: I just move from Windows 7 to Ubuntu and I'm trying to setup my programming environment. I installed Eclipse via Ubuntu Software Center, then opened it and installed additional plugins.

Problem came up when I tried to install Subclipse: according to the official guide, I installed JavaHL, but that damned library wasn't automatically linked by Eclipse, so I was told to "Note that JavaHL does not install in a location that is on Eclipse's default path, so eclipse must be launched with -vmargs -Djava.library.path=/usr/lib/jni".

Yes I know I have to modify eclipse.ini and add that vmargs line, but where is eclipse.ini??? I opened /usr/bin, the eclipse.exe is there but I can't found the rest.

I really don't want to remove this Eclipse and download another from Eclipse download page, because I will have to reinstall every plugins again. Please can anyone tell me how to find the directory which contains software which installed via USC? Any help will be appreciated.

How I installed subclipse
Changed /home/username/.eclipse/org.eclipse.platform_3.7.0_155965261/configuration/eclipse.ini.ignored
to /home/username/.eclipse/org.eclipse.platform_3.7.0_155965261/configuration/eclipse.ini just in case.

Installed subversion and the java wrapper
sudo apt-get install subversion libsvn-java
Check the version svn --version On 12.04 it's 1.6
I went to "Help->Install new software"

Added the matching site for svn integration. Make it match the version of libsvn.

Installed the full load of packages

Restarted eclipse from the command line to check for errors
I don't get any

I pulled an SVN repo to verify it working...ffmpeg svn is still up btw
