Hi Markus, I'm glad to hear someone is still interested in Eclipse! I fixed the eclipse package mainly because it blocked several transitions (libtomcat8-java, libjetty9-java, libasm-java) and I just realized it's a key element in our dependency graph (bnd, lombok, aspectj, svnkit, netbeans and xbean depend on it, and this affects many more packages transitively). That's what led me to figure out a workaround for the Java 8 compilation issue. The fixes for the other eclipse-* packages are just a bonus to clear a bit our list of RC issues... and to clear my conscience since I actually broke some of them ;) I may upload another eclipse update to switch to libasm-java (>= 5.0) and libjetty9-java, but I don't think I'll invest more time on the Eclipse ecosystem since I don't use these tools and I have other goals in mind before the freeze (mostly completing the Tomcat 8 transition, and maybe the BND 3 update). Feel free to update and break as you wish, as long as I can continue the transition that's fine for me :) Emmanuel Bourg
