I think a number of user ( / developer! ) need eclipse, and I think that with the right efford, maybe with a bit of analysis and coordination, it could be semplied the ridiculous complicated build system (I do not know the build system, it is just an hypotesis).
Does, and if so, how it could be distribuited the task for having an eclipse packaged for ubuntu/debian? I guess it is a matter of build machine's configuration and setup for doing test, or does it need external infrastructure to be setted up for running test? Or is it a matter of current infrastructure and standard of ubuntu and the incompatibility with the required (eclise) one? Sorry, there is neither a wiki, I can not find neither a bug opened in eclise.org, I just found this http://www.eclipse.org/proposals/kepler/ is not it a starting point? BTW eclipse 3.8 with nodejs plugin and PDT continuously crash, I can continue to report bugs, but I am near a deadline, I need some sort of usable ide in ubuntu NOW, I am just going to install binary distribuition of eclipse. In the next month maybe I would experiment with 4.3 build system, but this is not a wishlist, this is a "missing package" bug -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to eclipse in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1019273 Title: Version Bump to 4.3 Status in “eclipse” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “eclipse” package in Debian: New Bug description: I find it necessary to have development tools synced to the latest, and I would request a version bump to Eclipse 4.2 Juno by quantal. It has special features for mobile development, and that is something which a lot of users will benefit from. Also, I am a "novice" if you may in terms of filling bugs for version bumps. Do tell me if this is the right way to do it. I checked debian- unstable, and I didnt find that the 4.2 package there yet. Thanks.
