Please, note that it has already been decided multiple times by trusted users
that Eclipse packages should not include the -bin suffix. The eclipse-java-bin
and the eclipse-jee-bin packages have been deleted in the past for the same
reason. Also, back when Eclipse was in the official repositories, it was not
built from source, in the same way as here.

altermetax [1] filed a request to merge eclipse-cpp-bin [2] into

- The eclipse-cpp-bin package seems unmaintained
- Both eclipse-cpp and eclipse-cpp-bin create the package from pre-
built artifacts, however as per the AUR submission guidelines Java
software shouldn't have the -bin prefix, so eclipse-cpp should be the
correct name.

Please don't merge this, but do it the other way around.
This is not an arch=any Java package but a desktop application, therefore the
Java exception to '-bin' naming shouldn't apply.
AUR/eclipse-cpp should be built from source, or removed and merged to
eclipse-cpp-bin.
