On a more serious note, we do not intend to ship the current version with Debian 10 "Buster" again because, as you have rightly observed, it is obsolete and also broken. I recommend Debian bug #681726 for further reading. [1] I still intend to save parts of Eclipse (eclipse-platform) but will also look into other alternatives to save aspectj and its reverse-dependencies, whatever is easier to achieve. Though I have made up my mind and I don't intend to maintain Eclipse and all plugin packages alone for Buster. I will focus on Netbeans 9 as an alternative IDE instead which hopefully requires less maintenance but this also depends on whether it will be released in time before the next freeze. So in short, we are aware of the situation but we could need more help from people who really want to _maintain_ Eclipse. I also thought about something that was discussed at DebConf17 in Montreal, just packaging the upstream tarball as is. Obviously we can't ship that in Debian main but we could provide a eclipse-downloader package in contrib instead. I'm not sure if this is really needed or desired because it shouldn't be too difficult to run the Eclipse installer manually. Just a thought, not a promise. Hope that helps clarifying the situation a little Regards, Markus [1] https://bugs.debian.org/681726 signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Eclipse is 6 Years Behind in Debian
Hi folks, I just wanted to make the observation that Debian has had the same version of Eclipse for the last six years. When can we expect to see a new version to the Debian repository? Josh Blagden

I tried to start with the latter and have committed some initial
packaging to. Unfortunately I get lots of errors of this type:
...
org/jscience/physics/amount/AmountFormat.java:186: error: illegal character:
'\u00b1'
if (arg0.charAt(arg1.getIndex()) == '±') { // Error specified.
^
org/jscience/physics/amount/AmountFormat.java:186: error: unclosed character
literal
if (arg0.charAt(arg1.getIndex()) == '±') { // Error specified.
^
org/jscience/physics/amount/AmountFormat.java:187: error: unclosed character
literal
arg1.skip('±', arg0);
^
org/jscience/physics/amount/AmountFormat.java:187: error: illegal character:
'\u00b1'
arg1.skip('±', arg0);

org/jscience/physics/amount/AmountFormat.java:187: error: unclosed character
literal
arg1.skip('±', arg0);
^
org/jscience/physics/amount/AmountFormat.java:187: error: not a statement
arg1.skip('±', arg0);
^
100 errors
I checked just this example file:
$ file org/jscience/physics/amount/AmountFormat.java
org/jscience/physics/amount/AmountFormat.java: HTML document, UTF-8 Unicode text
The affected lines are looking in vim like:
186 if (arg0.charAt(arg1.getIndex()) == '±') { // Error
specified.
187 arg1.skip('±', arg0);
Any hint how to fix this?
Kind regards
Andreas.
