so eclipse is native in squeeze?
yes! one version back from latest upstream, but yes, it's there:
http://packages.debian.org/eclipse

non-free sun java if you absolutely must use that, and live-build even
ships with an example hook to automatically accept the sun java
license; see /usr/share/live/build/
examples/hooks/all_chroot_sun-java6.sh).
I would not like to include non-free packages so I would go about
installing openjdk6 as long as it is compatible with the nxjc
packages. Will check the hook in detail though
you don't need the hook if you don't use sun java. and installing
eclipse will install openjdk because that is one of its dependencies.
so just add eclipse to your packages list and you should be fine.

worth giving it a try. thanks
you can just email [email protected] expressing your interest in
testing and asking for the status of the packaging effort. that will
get to the maintainer who is working on it.

accomplishing that than you think.
so you think I can eliminate the interactive shell and manage
everything through hooks? So i would need a hook for java (already
mentioned) and another hook for nxjc right?
as i said, you don't need the hook for java if you use openjdk6. and as
for nxjc, so long as the maintainer has a .deb for you to try, you just
need to put it in config/chroot_local-packages/ ... no hooks needed.
worst case scenario, you will need to do something else for nxjc because
the package isn't ready yet, but let's cross that bridge when we get to
it (i thought most java software was shipped in .zip archives that you
could just unzip and point CLASSPATH at; is this no longer the case?
*must* you always use gui installers?)
