I can't beleive it!

Now for the constructive thing: Michael, what do you think about tagging
wontfix or closing the bug; Erwan, provide a patch to Eclipse upstream
or to the Debian package to get rid of this 'evil' dependency and
Michael will see if it's possible to apply your patch.

1° This is not a bug for me, Eclipse runs fine on Debian... and with
free software;

2° Eclipse is a really important software to have in Debian and it takes
a lot of time to package, we really don't need to spend time in such
discussions;

3° I don't understand the comparaison between Windows and Gnome, anyway,
I don't want you to explain your point of view.

Erwan, many thanks to let Debian developers do their job and help us in
a *constructive* maneer!

Respect,
