However, the SWT libraries are packaged separately from Eclipse, so that may not be an issue for you. Search aptitude with the phrase "^libswt" and you will see quite a few SWT libraries in both GTK and Motif versions. ~ The Eclipse packaging project was abandoned by Jan Schultz in mid to late 2004 and picked up by Joerg Wendland and a group of us under his leadership. We haven't made much progress yet, but now that the holidays are over, it should start picking up. ~ You may be misguided about what is involved in getting a Debian Java package into main; I recommend reviewing the following links below if you have not already.
