Bug#432350: eclipse: Starting point

[Tobias Frost]

Package: eclipse
Version: 3.2.2-6.1
Severity: normal




Wouldn't your package from Dec 2008 far better than the current "solution". I think so.
So, please, upload at least that one to experimental. 

(You're right, distributions cannot have feelings. But it is still a shame for debian.)


BTW: One thing I don't get is, why that package has that complecity. The only reason in mind is, that it won't work "out of box" with a free java compiler.
If thats the problem, common, move it to non-free. Most users won't care. The ones that care can stick to the two years (!) old version.
