  • Eclipse 3.8-4.6.3

    From Josh Blagden@21:1/5 to All on Fri Jun 9 15:50:01 2017
    I was checking the repositories for Eclipse, and I was surprised to find
    that even Debian Testing still has Eclipse version 3.8. Why hasn't it
    moved onto the current version, 4.6.3? I thought Testing was supposed to
    have newer software.

    It is unfortunate that stretch will ship only the outdated
    Eclipse 3.8, but as a volunteer project Debian can only
    provide whatever people are willing to work on.

    The discussion regarding updating Eclipse in Debian is in [1],
    and you are invited to help with maintaining Eclipse
    (or other packages that need work) in Debian.

    You are aware that Debian is currently in a freeze state?
