Sorry, just read that the bin packages are going to be deprectated. Perhaps at least the xsd build is of some use ^^'
Yea, someone got the superior idea to remove the bin-ebuilds for eclipse, but doesnt provide working source-ebuilds. This is completely idiotic. Sorry, but IF some devels are going to replace something, I expect to see the WORKING replacement. E.g. WORKSPACE for the m5-Ebuild of Ecl3.0 is set to $HOME/.eclipse? The default is $HOME/workspace? Who defined that? Those who want .eclipse can set it on their on, but please KEEP the defaults, since our Devel-Environemts may suffer from Path-Inkonsistencies. Is anyone else willing to take the Job for Updating-Eclipse-Ebuilds? The current guy, who's responsible for this doesn't get it!
I'm the guy who doesn't get it. The reason things keep breaking is that all of this is in ~arch, which means that they are available for testing, not for production use. I'm naturally not entirely happy about that, but I've been very clear on the -dev mailing list and in reply to the various -bin submissions about our move over to from-source ebuilds. We've had discussions on various bug-reports, a few mails to -dev, and some discussions on #gentoo-java about this, but it seems that very few people use the eclipse ebuilds and those who do generally don't speak up with feedback. Consequently, the changes have slow in coming and have been left mostly on the backburner, as I have had no incentive not to prioritise other areas. That being said, if somebody feels better suited to handle the switch-over, please step up, and I'll get you in touch with recruiting, so we can get you fixed up with cvs access.
I feel I have to chime in here. Honestly Qui Gon that is seriously disrespectful. Do you have working from source ebuilds that you can give to karl to look at? And as far as anyone else willing to maintain it, I promise you this: You provide me with new ebuilds, and I will commit them to ~arch as is, and assign to *YOU* all possible bug reports.

NO, I'm neither "hating" this work, nor do I flame at this. I've been working with eclipse for quite a long time now, and I dislike this damn "we go for source only"-yada-yada. People, including me, have submitted bin-ebuilds for eclipse for ANY version, i.e. sdk, platform and jdt, and these were never submitted to the portage with the comment, that gentoo os going for source only. I also don't think, you need any motif-support, when using GTK in the USE-Flags and simultaneously having kde as USE-Flag. If I want motif, then I will certainly put it into the USE-Flag. I also don't think, that anyone wants WORKBENCH="${HOME}/.eclipse/" and cd ${WORKBENCH} in his/her eclise-script, since the bin-Versions always used $HOME/workspace. I bet this dotted eclipse-directory isn't used by anyone, since dotted directories are hidden by default. Config-Files are ok, but it's fatal for a development workspace. This should be kept as WORKBENCH="${HOME}/workspace/" and NO ``cd $WORKBENCH" before starting! If you don't like ASCII-Hunting, the file is attached. Keep what I'm saying as you like, but stay with default options and provide advanced options for those who want it. And I really appreciate keeping the binary-ebuilds for eclipse up2date, until you are 120% sure, the sources can SEAMLESSLY replace the binary-version. Don't make any half things...!
that file was uploaded incorrectly and is unviewable through bugzilla, please upload a new one marking it as text/plain and expring the old one
