are there some technical issues that doesn't allow to install core of eclipse via apt (and keep it updated when new releases of eclipse occurs) and let the end user to install plugins via eclipse's build-in mechanisms? I don't understand why you are packaging let's say perl + tons of modules (the same I can say regarding php/python/ruby, etc) when it has own module manager called "cpan". If someone need to update module (installed via apt) or install new module (not packages as .deb) he is able to do that via "cpan" and everything works fine, because such modules installs to "/usr/local/lib" and they have higher priority. Why you can't do the same with eclipse?
