+Per default, eclipse stores data in your home directory unless you specify
+the '-data' switch on the command line.
+
+If you tell eclipse to store data in a directory located on an NFS share,
+it is possible that eclipse will fail with an error message that it could
+not aquire a lock. Apparently there are some issues with the way NFS is
+done among Unix servers and Linux hosts. Make sure that lockd and statd
+are running on both the client and the server.
+
+If this does not work at all, then you can disable the use of a lock file
+by starting eclipse using 'eclipse -vmargs -Dosgi.locking=none'.
