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.
