Package: eclipse
Version: 3.7.2-1
Severity: normal

- --- Please enter the report below this line. ---

The software I locally installed when using the previous version of
Eclipse seems to still be recognised by Eclipse - listed in the
Installed Software tab, on the Installation Details window, but none
of it seems to be usable.
E.g. If I want use the m2e Maven features, they are not available, but I
cannot install them as Eclipse thinks that it has the latest version of
these tools.
Checking for updates seems to update a collection of completely unusable
locally installed software!

Do I need to delete the contents of /home/username/.eclipse and start again?

My experience of installing Springsource Tool Suite (STS) on top of the wheezy packaged version of Eclipse

Hello,
I have documented my experience of installing the Springsource Tool
Suite on top of the wheezy packaged version of Eclipse.

Rather than repeat myself I will point you to the post I put on this
Debian help forum.
http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=16t=74866

There was a missing dependency which took a while to sort out and
required dropping a Jar file into my plugins directory, but it worked
fine in the end.

I am not suggesting this is a bug: just an annoyance, which could
possibly phase users not used to having to take these steps.

Thanks!
