Hold on a sec, this is a bug report, not a forum for your rants about Ubuntu developer priorities. The beauty of an open community effort is that it inherits the priorities of everyone who participates. You are welcome to step up and help to get the work done that you think is most important, subject to the overall guidance of the technical board.
In the case of Java: - our primary constraint has been that upstream Java could not go into main because of licensing concerns - we aim to get java into main as soon as it is possible to do so - we are currently post feature freeze, and so it will be difficult to change Hardy We are working with Sun on OpenJDK, but it's not yet clear what can be achieved by Hardy without putting other pieces of the distribution, like OpenOffice, at risk. One of our requirements in working with Sun is that Eclipse work well. I fully support the idea of being able to apt-get the latest stable Eclipse, and am pretty offended by your sweeping statement to the contrary.
