Hi Matthias, is this really that a good idea to use the external swt-gtk in eclipse? what if an updated swt-gtk is uploaded that breaks eclipse? Well, this can be said about any package and its dependencies, still most of the time in Debian I see effort to reuse common library packages rather

Eclipse and swt-gtk

2012-01-10 Thread Jakub Adam
Hi, I noticed that packages libswt-gtk-3-java(-jni) seem to install the same version of swt as Eclipse builds and uses internally. From my point of view swt-gtk should be dropped and libswt-gtk-3-java package built from eclipse sources (or keeping swt-gtk and using its libraries in Eclipse wou
