Using Quartus and Nios IDE with Ubuntu 10.04

I was finally able to run eclipse-nios2, I followed the next instructions for Ganymede:

http://swik.net/eclipse/del.icio.us/tag/eclipse/eclipse+ganymede+startup+problem+in+ubuntu+:+org.eclipse.swt.swterror:+xpcom+erro+%c2%ab+lahiru+sandakith+gallege%e2%80%99s+web+log/dfs99

So add the next line:

-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath=/usr/lib/mozilla

to

/opt/altera9.1sp2/nios2eds/bin/eclipse_nios2/eclipse.ini

I am not sure if this really does it, but now I was able to at least run eclipse-nios2.
