Thank you for contacting us. I completely agree with you. Eclipse in its
current state should not be a blocker for other packages in testing. I
can't promise anything but I will try to get the package in shape again
but this process will be quite slow probably, so the request for help is
as valid as ever.

Regards,

Markus
