It isn't complicated :) you maybe need some -dev packages, but this can be resolved with calling apt-get build-dep eclipse-sdk before making the apt-get source call. After that, eclipse will be build from source (takes about 10 minutes on my 1GHz/512MB box) and then you have the debs in the 'one level down' dir. I do that all them time, when I want some newer programms, like spamassassin, which are simply out of date in woody. Additonally, it is only 39 MB instead of nearly 70 from the regular drops (and unfortunatelly debs as well :( ) It may be a bit unfamiliar the first time, but this is really usefull... Jan
