He means, of course, for those who aren't masters of ubuntu package creation.
Yes, we can use the official release from eclipse.org - but then why use a package manager. We all know the advantages of package managers in terms of security, integration with rest of system, file organisation, access for all users and whatnot. In my opinion, the version of eclipse that is currently being released with Ubuntu is so old that including it in the repository is misleading and harmful to users. It should be removed as unmaintained. -- Upgrade to Eclipse 3.4.1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/123064 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
