I have spent some time this weekend on Eclipse again. I have created a
standalone src:libequinox-osgi-java package and successfully rebuilt all
reverse-dependencies. We only have to make a small adjustment in
src:netbeans and src:libnb-platform18-java and update the osgi patch.
If there are no objections I could go ahead and upload
libequinox-osgi-java to NEW.
eclipse-rcp:
* svnkit:
There are two Eclipse specific classes that fail to build. As a
workaround we could remove one of them and patch SVNWCUtil.
* android-sdktools and android-platform-tools-swt
According to [1] both packages should be removed anyway.
After that there would be only three packages left (not counting the
eclipse plugins) that build-depend on either eclipse-platform (aspectj)
or eclipse-jdt (lombok, biogenesis)
Next I'm going to try if a separate eclipse-jdt package from [2] could
be a drop-in-replacement for our current package. The latest stable
release appears to be S4_8_0_M5.
