Bug#831603: eclipse version

[Karagkiaouris Diamantis]

Source: eclipse
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

i would like to ask if there is any reason for keeping an old eclipse version (3.8) on debian repos. The current available is 4.6 (Neon). Is there any reason for having an outdated version of eclipse in repos? I think that if the reason is lack of time for maintanence, then it would be better to remove it from debian repos.

Thank you
