Hi, the problem is still the same. There must be someone who wants to maintain Eclipse and package new updates. We now should have all necessary build-dependencies in Debian. The last one was Tycho which got accepted four days ago. [1] We are approaching the Freeze very quickly now and updating Eclipse and its related modules/plugins is a demanding and time-consuming task. I have been working on Netbeans 8.2 for a while now and many unexpected problems prevented that I could spend more time on packaging Eclipse. Even if Eclipse was packaged today there would basically be no time for testing anymore. So help wanted means, please get involved with packaging and maintaining the software. Best regards, Markus Koschany [1] https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/tycho
