I never install Eclipse from the repositories, because it's always a 
significantly older version. I simply download it from eclipse.org 
directly and install it in my /opt folder.

Updating eclipse is a lot of work because a lot of Java packages need
to be updated in coordination with each other.

See https://bugs.debian.org/681726 where help is requested.

Eclipse IDE

2017-11-05 Thread Nils

Is it possible to update Eclipse from the ubuntu repositories 
3.8.1 version came out in September 2012 and today we are near 2018, so 
it would be very nice to update it.
