Hello Adrien, It's nice to hear that your laboratory is using to Debian, and I wish I could state otherwise, however, I think it's very unlikely that we will have Eclipse 4.x packages ready for the jessie release. That said, I would be happy to be proven wrong. I haven't looked at the challenges of packaging Eclipse 4 directly, but suspect that it's a large undertaking. It's primarily a question of having sufficient volunteer developers to go around. I didn't want your question to go without an answer. Regards, tony
