[Bug 123064] Re: Upgrade to Eclipse 3.4

[StefanPotyra]

Hi,

Ok, here some pointers:

Generating packages: 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide (should also contain links to other useful documentation).

Java packages:
http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/java-policy/
(not too sure how complete this is nowadays)

>From the current eclipse source package, e.g. libswt3.2-gtk-java gets
built. So you can find out what packages are affected by dependencies
with:

apt-cache rdepends libswt3.2-gtk-java

(same works for other binary packages, which come from eclipse source
package as well).

This test doesn't necessariliy cover build-dependencies yet. To find
out, if there are packages build-depending (but not depending, not sure
if this is the case for a package) on a binary package from eclipse,
you'll need to look through the packages files in /var/lib/apt/lists. A
tool to help doing this is grep-dctrl (package dctrl-tools), but I've
forgotten the syntax right now.

Finally, you can always ask any packaging questions on the channel
#ubuntu-motu on freenode, or on the motu mailing list <ubuntu-
motu at lists.ubuntu.com>

Cheers, and thank you very much for offering help,
    Stefan.
