Jaunty is shipping Eclipse version 3.2. That's about two years old -- a massive amount of time -- and since then there have been innumerable fixes. There has been a bug calling for its upgrade since 3.3 came out 20-something months ago. That bug has since gone through versions 3.4, 3.4.1 and now 3.4.2.<br>
<br><a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eclipse/+bug/123064">https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eclipse/+bug/123064</a><br><br>If this were an insignificant and very niche tool, but it's not; Eclipse earns four stars in the popularity contest (only beaten by the Python runtimes for obvious reasons).<br>
<br>The community appears to be failing at getting this packaged. People try, run into build issues and quit. Over and over again. So is there any way we can elevate this issue before we start getting laughed at? Ideally somebody from Canonical would have a little chat with somebody from Sun and we'd magically be at a point where the community can maintain the build process... <br>
<br>But really, *anything* is better than the nothing we have at the moment.<br>
