You and Brian keep on claiming that. Do you actually have anything
solid on which to base this assertion? The packages might ship on the
same CD, but that's as far as the link goes. People are reasily
capable of installing one without the other:

 * Kaffe will happily install without Eclipse
 * Eclipse will happily install, depending on any Java 2 runtime

at which point these packages are _clearly_ not one work.
