I don't think it is good idea of packaging Eclipse as Ubuntu packages at all. Base Eclipse platform is relatively easy to install - just unpack it's archive to a directory. There is huge amount of plugins available but Eclipse provides it's own plugin management system with dependency resolving, posiibility of install from different repositories over Internet connection, from disk after downloading and so on. Packaging this as .deb packages would be complex, tedious and what is most important doubling of Eclipse and plugin developers work.
Instead of packaging Eclipse providing comprehensive documentation how to integrate Eclipse with Ubuntu should be enough. Maybe some configuration or launcher scripts for Eclipse could be worth of packaging as a .deb package. -- Upgrade to Eclipse 3.4.1 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
