Bug#893768: eclipse-rcp: Please don't depend on libswt-webkit-gtk-3-jni

Package: eclipse-rcp
Version: 3.8.1-11
Severity: serious
Tags: buster sid
User: pkg-webkit-maintainers at lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: oldlibs libwebkitgtk-1.0-0 webkit1


eclipse-rcp depends on libswt-webkit-gtk-3-jni which is the last
package keeping the unmaintained webkitgtk in Debian Testing. Please
investigate whether it's possible to drop this dependency.

I'm guessing it's still possible for apps to use the Eclipse platform
without that library: it's just that web browser powered widgets won't
work?

On behalf of the Debian Webkit Maintainers,
