Hi Shanto. I've been pretty busy and haven't had a chance to update my packages for a bit.
I would like to see whomever is responsible for the eclipse-dltk-* packages also maintain the following packages as well: - eclipse-antlr-runtime - eclipse-dtp - eclipse-h2-database - eclipse-pdt - eclipse-pdt-debugger - eclipse-rse - eclipse-wtp The reason for this is that these eclipse plugins all depend on each other in one way or another and it's hard to get several people to co-oridnate releases so they all work at once. Especially eclipse-pdt. Let me know if you're willing and able to handle all of these packages, keep them more up to date than I am and make sure that whoever takes them over after you will do the same, and I'll try to co-ordinate a time to orphan them with you so you can grab them all. If not, I'll update them soon.
