EPP packages are actually available only for Windows, Mac and Linux, all either 32-bit or 64-bit. It'll be quite useful if Solaris was added as an additional platform for EPP packagse.

Since this is very unlikely to happen in the future, I am closing this bug as WONTFIX. We do not have the resources to build such a package and - more important - we are not able to ensure the quality of a package on this platform at all (the same applies for AIX, HPUX, etc.).

The good news is that there are many workarounds. The Eclipse Classic package ('SDK') *is* available for all these platforms (see http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/ for a direct download link or follow the 'Other Downloads' link of the Classic package on the main download page).

If you are interested in the *content* of one of the packages, just add the URL of the respective Simultaneous Release to the list of repositories (e.g. http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo), disable the 'Group items by category' in the p2 install dialog and search for 'EPP'. When you install this feature you should get pretty close to what you would get if there were any packages for this platform. If you need the *configuration* of the package as well, you can use the p2 director and create a package locally.
