Please up the priority on this bug, we need a fix! It's a very simple change! I went and fixed it myself but I would like to see it changed upstream so I don't have to mess with it after every upgrade. Simply change the Depends to eclipse-platform instead of eclipse-jde, eclipse-pde, and eclipse-source.
I don't do any java development, which precludes writing any plugins for eclipse, and I have no need to access the source code. I imagine this is true for most users of eclipse, aside from java developers who only need ONE of those three packages! I thought I already filed a bug report on this issue for Breezy, though I can't find it now. I can't believe it still exists when the fix is so simple... -- "eclipse" package needed for /usr/bin/eclipse, lots of deps https://launchpad.net/bugs/67858 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
