This is not a problem, I am not a DD either. We have at least one DD though willing to help with sponsoring etc if the technical problems are solved. > What is the policy about eclipse plugins ? should they be in seperate > package or in the eclipse Unfortunately there is no official policy for that. It is one of the problems. E.g., a possible issue is Equinox (the eclipse OSGi runtime). It would be best if it were distributed separately (since a few people use it standalone) but this makes maintainance harder. For now a policy that splits eclipse to packages the same way it is done for eclipse 3.2 is probably fine. Important "plugins" (like cdt/jdt) should be installed in a place like /usr/share/eclipse/dropins, each plugin in its own dir. This avoids interoperability problems with eclipse P2 at least until a better integration between apt/dpkg and P2 is developed. > currently im working only on the java part (since that is what i need ) . Well, the core and jdt are by far the hardest, so if you can solve this it will be a big win already. You could look at Fedora's eclipse-build and my eclipse-debian package for some ideas. You could also look at the eclipse-ubuntu project. That one was the most active last time I looked (I think).
