[Bug 123064] Re: Upgrade to Eclipse 3.4.2

[aurelieng]

Well... IMHO, the "own internal update, plugin installation and
dependency resolving system" is not that reliable. I cannot count the
number of problems and workarounds I had trying to install several
plugins with different (and incompatible) dependencies. It's so painful
that most plugin editors also release a version of their plugin bundled
with eclipse, to avoid its integration if you want to give it a try.

Also, I think that when you are a part-time developper, being able to
install your workspace from clean distribution package, if you want, is
a real advantage since you can focus on your job, and not on system
administration/maintainance tasks.

What's the status of other major distribution ? Most of them ship
Ganymede (3.4)... so it seems to be feasible... or maybe I missed
something ?
