Build Identifier: Released Ubuntu 11.04 doesn't have 3.6.2 among its software list. It is a common problem for Ubuntu/Debian software that can be alleviated by providing separate Personal Package Archive. Google Chrome team does with http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ and it really helps to keep community involved. Reproducible: Always
There is http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-java/eclipse.git;a=summary and I'm pretty sure that debian guys will appreciate your help to get it packaged properly.
Windows as my primary platform, and my Debian commits rights were revoked, because I am not experienced enough with the packaging. So don't rely on my help.
Thanks for the re-assignment, John. The position of the Linux Tools project has always been that the best place for distribution packages is _in_ the distribution. This is perhaps at odds with recent trends in the Ubuntu world of a range of PPAs. I'll leave this bug open in case anyone wants to step up to do this. My personal opinion is that it is best to work with the Ubuntu and Debian packagers to ensure that those are well-integrated and conform with the packaging guidelines of those distributions.
Help to get Eclipse 3.6.2 build from source (with all .jar files removed) will be appreciated. Once we have a working package for Debian unstable / Ubuntu development version, nothing speaks against putting this version into a PPA for older Ubuntu releases.
I'm closing this bug as it is out of scope for the project.
Reopening just to clarify, are you sure about that? From the description of this project: -- cut https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/describecomponents.cgi?product=Linux%20Tools -- eclipse-build Packaging Tools Inbox Build harness for the Eclipse SDK used by various Linux distributions -- Ubuntu users use PPA for building and reviewing packages.

Linux Tools eclipse-build project is shipping SOURCE ONLY "build harness" for the various distributions out there. > > Ubuntu users use PPA for building and reviewing packages. Fedora users use YUM repositories for building and reviewing packages. Suse users use zypper repositories for building and reviewing packages. Mageia/Mandriva users use URPMI repositories for building and reviewing packages. Gentoo users use portage tree + overlays for building and reviewing packages . . . . I hope you see the point. It is definetely out of scope for the project.
