My experience is: reasonably well, as long as one stays within the same major version. With Europe, I couldn't properly debug 1.4 programs as long as 1.5 was used as Eclipse's JVM. I haven't tried that yet with Ganymede, maybe that's a nice thing to do over the weekend. But the main problem was not debugging, but some plugins. I remember that I had problems with the Maven2 plugin and that was a showstopper. :-(
The issues with 64 bit Eclipse are well known and are very irritating, I believe Ganymede is more stable on Java 6 (and it is also not well buried in an obscure place on the eclipse site any more). There are some sneaky Java 6 requirements for certain bits of Eclipse so ruling out 6 may not be wise.
Thanks for that hint, I'll pay attention. I'm using Ganymede under 1.5 with either Maven2 or lots of libraries from jpackage.org since 3 months (mostly J2EE and JSF development), without much problems.

Looks as if one needs to launch eclipse with the major version JRE one is working with which is very doable (have had to do explicitly define a JRE on load on a couple of occasions when an Eclipse configuration became corrupted). Fortunately, never had much need for Maven so far... - -- ============================================================================== I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone.
