You are free not to use the Eclipse packaged by Debian but e.g.
the Help
system which is a vital system for some users will not work. Other
thinks don't work either. Upstream Eclipse 3.1.1 don't works with
free
java runtimes at all because of broken memory management in JDT.
It works perfectly without mozilla. It needs a browser but that's why
every browser package has a Provides: www-browser, so the dependency
should be on www-browser, not mozilla-browser.
And that doies not explain th gnome dependency, which is heavier, and
tottaly inadequate and, I repeat DANGEROUS.
It needs Mozilla for the embedded browser, as it uses the Gecko
embedding API. Erwan is correct that if this is not available, the
help system will launch in an external web browser. However, this is
a degredation of functionality. We would like all distributions to
ship an embeddable mozilla, or the xulrunner Mozilla runtime.
Erwan: do you understand what I am saying?
