It is based off of the never-released packaging for 3.3 in debian's pkg- java svn. There are a few major issues: * Help indexing causes memory corruption, which leads to a crash. This seems to be a gcj-4.2 issue; other jvms don't seem to have this problem. Unfortunately, the source package is set up to build with gcj, so some of the help file packages never get built. Furthermore, if you try to search help files installed using the update manager while running under gcj, eclipse crashes. * The Eclipse source build lost the ability to compile the SWT native libraries sometime between RC1 and the final release. This package uses the .so files that come in the upstream tarball. * There are several jars that were replaced with symlinks to jars in /usr/share/java. Since the 3.4 versions have had osgi properties added to their manifests, this isn't a safe transformation anymore, so those files aren't replaced with symlinks anymore. * P2 doesn't work. If you enable classic update, you can still use it to install new plugins from update sites. Despite all that, I've found it to be reasonably stable and much more useful to me than the 3.2 packages in Hardy. It seems to me that a good idea would be to help out Rockwalrus with the building. -- Upgrade to Eclipse 3.4 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/123064 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

How can we then turn it into a package for Hardy? -t- On Thu, 2008-06-26 at 21:05 +, John Paulett wrote: Eclipse 3.4 installed from source works well in Hardy. http://jhcore.com/2008/06/26/eclipse-34-ganymede-on-ubuntu/ -- Upgrade to Eclipse 3.4 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/123064 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
Re: [Bug 123064] Re: Upgrade to Eclipse 3.4
I believe the problem is that currently there are several jvms, if openjdk were the only one, wouldn't it make java packaging simpler?

Re: [Bug 123064] Re: Upgrade to Eclipse 3.4
Yes, it probably would, though I don't think that is a major issue. I think it is people taking it on, without realising how much work is really required. Especially with the new P2 plugins system, simply updating the old packages isn't enough. My thoughts, if anyone wants to package Eclipse, start with just the Eclipse Platform and JDT, release as early and frequently as possible, and add plugin packages one at a time. Target only openjdk 6. And if you change your mind, please let others know. There have been a handful of people say they will start adopt Eclipse, and then are never heard from again.

Is there something we as complainers can do to make this build under Ubuntu 7.10- Instead of continuing to complain, maybe we should take action. I totally agree that 3.3- should be an option in Gutsy/Hardy. best trond -- Upgrade to Eclipse 3.4 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/123064 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
Re: [Bug 123064] Re: Upgrade to Eclipse 3.4
I've used 3.3 in both Gutsy and Hardy. There is some conflicting package(s) you need to remove first, though I don't remember which.
