** Description changed:
Binary package hint: eclipse
- currently, the eclipse package shipped with ubuntu is hard-coded to depened
on the gij jvm,
- which is much slower that sun-java-1.6.
+ Currently, the eclipse package in repositories depends on gij jvm through
chained dependecies.
+ eclipse->eclipse-platform->java-gcj-compat->gij-4.1
+ gij jvm is much slower that Sun Java 1.5 or 1.6.
- since gij, sun-java-1.5, sun-java-1.6 are all in the ubuntu's repositores, i
think it would be better
- if the dependency will be on either of them, rather than specifically on gij.
+ Since gij, sun-java-1.5, sun-java-1.6 are all in the ubuntu's repositores, i
think it would be better if the dependency will be on either of them, rather
than specifically on gij.
+ This could be solved by changing dependency of eclipse-platform to
'java-gcj-compat | sun-java5-jre | sun-java6-jre'
+ If possible make only packages ending with -gcj depend on gij/gcj ex.
eclipse-platform-gcj
plus, switching eclipse jvm is done editing /etc/eclipse/java_home, and it is
not selectable
using dpkg --reconfigure java-alternatives, or other, more obvious way.
thanks in advance!
