2.1 is pretty durn old as far as Eclipse goes. I'd like to drop it, in favor of newer, more stable versions, like 3.0 and later.

The only kink is that it is marked stable on sparc, and there are no later version with any sort of sparc keyword. I have heard rumblings that java is masked in general on sparc.

So, is that true, and if so, is it cool to drop 2.1?

The sparc team has given us the permissions to always remove the old versions in these kinds of situation so you do not need to ask in the future. Old versions removed.
