It MUST be 3.6 all other versions don't work! It looks like a number of
people have "Stuck" with Eclipse 3.6 and while its moved on (3.7 is
standard with Ubuntu, which does not help) From the way some seam to be
working there seams to be a "Project Split" in eclipse at 3.6 and I suspect
its annoying the eclipse developers no end!

Got it working eventually, not 100% sure why it did not work earlier today,

Looks like there are all sorts of quirks, to make it work........But once
it works its fine

Looks like I've got quite a bit of learning to do, my Java is about 12
years old when Java 2 was still bleeding edge........
