After having switched my workstation from Vista to Ubuntu, i began to install all the needed development stuff and a few extra gadgets to play with. One of the things i wanted to try out for weeks is Genuitecs Pulse, an installation manager for the Eclipse Platform.I downloaded the Pulse Linux Installation .jar and ran it using
java -jar pulse-linux-gtk-x86.jar. Sadly, it cannot find required SWT libraries and aborts.
mhaller@ebola:~$ java -jar /tmp/pulse-linux-gtk-x86.jar
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no swt-gtk-3347
or swt-gtk in swt.library.path, java.library.path or the jar file

To get installation support, I went to the Pulse website and looked for help. I found the Customer Support Forums. Now, you're lucky to get help there, because when trying to register for an account, the following message appeared:
To the Genuitec Support Folks: Please let me know how I'm supposed to use the Pulse application to create an account for the Support forum, if I cannot install their tool.
