Yes, you are right. We use a current eclipse-build svn checkout to build
eclipse 3.5.1.

Join #eclipse-linux on Freenode and #debian-java on OFTC to get in
contact with us. Currently we are three people working on the
Debian/Ubuntu eclipse package: nthykier, blackxored, and bdrung (me). In
#eclipse-linux there are the great guys from Fedora: overholt and
akurtakov.

We maintain eclipse in git:
http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-java/eclipse.git;a=summary

There are mailing lists, too (but IRC is more frequently used):
<email address hidden>
<email address hidden>
<email address hidden>

Instead of abuse this bug report, please use these IRC channel / mailing
lists to continue.
