The problem is that, for the most part, there is no debian/ubuntu eclipse team. There is mostly just individuals right now, many with almost no free time (e.g., I don't even use eclipse nowadays). Removing the ancient 3.2 version might help bring a few more interested developers to assist

Btw, some things the eclipse team could do to make packagers' lives easier and increase the chances for an eclipse version that meets debian's high freedom/quality standards: * Test your code with openjdk. * Assist with building eclipse in a headless manner from the command-line. (this

Well, why not aim for 3.5 instead? It is not like the work required to get 3.4.x in shape is any less, or that it would be finished before 3.5 is out anyway. (Of course that is just imho). -- Upgrade to Eclipse 3.4.2 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/123064 You received this bug notification

Fwiw: 1) The statement that eclipse doesn't need packaging and it is trivial to install standalone is imho *a joke*. The fact is, eclipse *does* have dependencies on other stuff that is installed via the package system (by far the most painful of which is, of course, mozilla/xulrunner).

I 'd like to invite all subscribers to this bug to pkg-java- maintain...@lists.alioth.debian.org We are trying to start an effort to get eclipse-3.4 and its ilk in shape for debian. From there merging it to ubuntu will be much easier. The big problem is we don't have anyone working full time on
