Agreed with all the above, but eclipse seems to have no active maintainer right now and the version in debian is trully ancient (the equivalent of kde 2.x). The best solution at this time is probably to remove eclipse altogether from debian until someone with the needed time and dedication can pick it up and bring in the current versions. Until then we 'd just be beating a dead horse, imho. _______________________________________________ pkg-java-maintainers mailing list pkg-java-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-java-maintainers
