new eclipse packages for testing
Hallo!
I've just uploaded new eclipse source packages to
deb-src http://www.katzien.de/debian/eclipse ./
The changes include the libswt-java ->
(libswt2.1-motif-java|libswt2.1-gtk2-java), libswt2.1-java changes, so
it is likely, that something will fail.
I especially interested in this points:
* Is it upgrade properly without any help: apt-get upgrade should be
all.
* Are both '-ws' working: eclipse -ws gtk and eclipse -ws motif should
work when istalled together.
* Are there any problems with platform.cfg: If eclipse fails to start,
check <workspace>/.metadata/.config/platform.cfg for any
|site.*.list.*=<many swt related plugins>
entries and remove them. If there is any complaint, I will include
a sed line for that in the startscript.
<include rant about platform.cfg here />...
* Any other regressions you may find...
Here is a list of things, which are not working yet:
* no use of update-alternatives yet
-> gtk still default, if only motif is present eclipse will fail
without a specified "-ws motif" option. (see .eclipse/eclipserc)
* the launcher is still gtk based. I'm still not sure how I should
handle that. Two packages just for the launchers seems a bit overkill.
Maybe I will refactor the startscript to do all the jobs of teh
launcher and remove it. I haven't found a replacement for showing
the splash-screen, though...
Read changelog.Debian.gz and the libswt2.1* README.Debian.gz for more
info... Especially if you find motif ugly :)
Enjoy!
Jan
