(Get the code!)
Btw, some things the eclipse team could do to make packagers' lives easier
and increase the chances for an eclipse version that meets debian's high
freedom/quality standards:
* Test your code with openjdk.
* Assist with building eclipse in a headless manner from the command-line.
(this practically means test your code with eclipse-build and help fix the bugs)
2-3 redhat people trying to fix bugs in the ant scripts of more than 50 people
doesn't really scale, especially if said 50 people continuously add new bugs :)
There are other issues like proper policy for eclipse and plugins (placement
within FHS) etc but debian people can deal with those and the build issue
is currently the thorniest
