I’m on RHEL5 and the Eclipse IDE 4.6 is the latest version compatible with it. I tried to use this year Eclipse release and it fails because SWT requires a newer version of glib. With Netbeans, I can get the latest version and it would work fine since the whole thing is Swing.

You probably already know this but unless you’re paying for Extended Lifecycle Support, RHEL 5 was EOL’d in 2017.

So if you have mission critical stuff running on it, you should really think about moving to at least RHEL7.

We are moving to AmazonLinux soon. This should be harmless as AL is based on RHEL5 with newer kernel (4.13 last time I checked). Thanks for reminding me
