Hi (again), I just got reminded today that Eclipse is working on changing their build system to something based on Maven (for better or for worse)[1]. Notably, LinuxTools upstream have closed a lot of their outstanding bugs around their build scripts as WONTFIX because of this. So it is entirely possible that pde-build will be retired in Eclipse 4 and most of my knowledge here is obsolete... :) ~Niels [1] http://wiki.eclipse.org/CBI -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-java-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
