altermetax [1] filed a request to merge eclipse-cpp-bin [2] into
eclipse-cpp [3]:

- The eclipse-cpp-bin package seems unmaintained
- Both eclipse-cpp and eclipse-cpp-bin create the package from pre-
built artifacts, however as per the AUR submission guidelines Java
software shouldn't have the -bin prefix, so eclipse-cpp should be the
correct name.

[2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/eclipse-cpp-bin/
[3] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/eclipse-cpp/


Please don't merge this, but do it the other way around.

This is not an arch=any Java package but a desktop application, therefore the 
Java exception to '-bin' naming shouldn't apply.

AUR/eclipse-cpp should be built from source, or removed and merged to 
eclipse-cpp-bin.


Yes, eclipse isn't a .jar

$ file eclipse
eclipse: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV),
dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2,
forGNU/Linux 3.2.0,
BuildID[sha1]=563ac05a1196682d0ea8e7fde3c3389e1917597a, stripped

eclipse-cpp-bin is already orphan
