The discussion here was about why a debian package for Eclipse is not up to date.
My theory is that it is obviously because there is a way how to run Eclipse, without any issues and without the need of an officially tested debian package, so there is not huge demand.
- rjsw 6y agoThat would be fine if Linux preserved backwards compatibility, the glibc version change last year meant that some binary packages no longer run. Something like Netbeans doesn't need a debian package but Eclipse is split into lots of jar files that each depends on some shared libraries.
