I used 'apt-get source -b eclipse' to build the packages for my woody box with backported versions of all the required libs (not sure if all that was nesseserry, in the middle of the whole process I got fed up and used http://mirrors.evilgeniuses.org.uk/debian/backports/woody backports of gnome2.2). Anyway, here are some comments: * The debian/rules did not recognise my JAVA_HOME, which was set to /usr/lib/j2se/1.4/, I had to change the file by hand. That is the latest blackdown java sdk. I also had to put a symlink from /usr/bin/jar to /bin/jar. * Please provide a directory in /usr/local, where one can install plugins, without the need to put it into /usr/lib/eclipse. The way to do that is to put a '.link' file into the subdir /usr/lib/eclipse/links with content |path=/usr/local/ext_plugins (only one entry, but more than one file, normal java properties file) The referenced dir must have the same structure than the eclipse dir: ext_plugins/eclipse/ -> plugins -> features Now new plugins can be installed there. Maybe that could also be used to make a link to a $HOME based plugin dir (echo "path=$HOME/.eclipse" > .../links/.user). This would also solve the problem with the eclipse update manager: http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/~checkout~/platform-update-home/doc/products-and-extension.html -> Characteristics of extensions: [...] * an extension is updated by a native installer or by the Eclipse update manager [...] http://eclipsewiki.swiki.net/131 http://home.nyc.rr.com/olegs/eclipse/antscript/readme.htm * Eclipse has a lot of command args, like for example -debug and the whole --vmargs (I usually put a -Xmx256M there...). It would be great to have a config or eclipserc file for that. As a developper you also may have different jdks installed and maybe the one to execute eclipse is a different one than the one linked to /usr/bin/java. Anyway, thanks a lot for this packages! I'm looking forward to install eclipse via debs from now on. :) It would be great if you could keep the repository for woody users...
