Comment 178 for bug 123064

I'm a frequent visitor of #eclipse on freenode irc and there is at least one perso each day, who has a problem related to eclipse 3.2 on ubuntu.

Eclipse 3.5 will be released this week and this issue will celebrate it's third birthday soon. Any chance that it will be adressed for the next ubuntu release?

If packaging 3.5 is too much work, could you please consider removing 3.2 from the repository or notify the user that it is outdated?
This would help to prevent a bad user experience (install 3.2 via repo, use it, find out its 3 years old, migrate to 3.5 manually).

Is there anything eclipse could do to make packaging easier?
