do you expect apt to be more reliable in installing eclipse and its numerous plugins than eclipse itself?
When I need my workspace on the clean machine I simply unpack my eclipse installation with all its plugins. It is easier than installing everything with apt and it is easier than fresh eclipse install and then plugins install with internal installer. And I don't need to configure tons of tiny things for every plugin. Apt and eclipse can live together only when all plugins will have their's own debs maintained by plugin's developers. In any other case you'll have eventually install something through eclipse's internal installer which is bad. Not because it's just bad but because you will have two managers - apt and eclipse messing with the same software. You will never be sure which way to use next time because one will work better for one set of lugins and other will work for some other set, and you will never know who's responsible of the failure - plugin creator, eclipse, or repo package maintainer. -- Upgrade to Eclipse 3.4.2 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/123064 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
