Package: eclipse-platform Version: 3.8.1-10 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
I need to run eclipse in order to build a package. To "be safe" I am setting -configuration, -user and -data to a temporary build directory. However, this breaks in pbuilder because /usr/bin/eclipse contains a greedy check to see if ~/.eclipse exists, and if not it calls `$ECLIPSE -clean -initialize`. This breaks in pbuilder because ~/.eclipse is not writable. However, that is precisely why I gave it a -configuration option in the first place, which /usr/bin/eclipse ignores in this particular case. Setting PATH=/usr/lib/eclipse:$PATH works around the problem.
