<ul></ul><p>off-hand, it is not likely - being a java program, it is likely<br />to be very difficult or impossible to build from source - most<br />are</p>
<p>eclipse has been one of the most popular IDEs for decades; so<br />it's absence from arch now is probably not an over-sight - my guess<br />is that it is either not so popular anymore, or that it was too much<br />trouble to package properly - if it were packaged in arch now, it<br />would likely be on this TODO list (<a class="issue tracker-4 status-9 priority-1 priority-lowest parent" title="Freedom Issue: Many Java packages not built from source? (confirmed)" href="https://labs.parabola.nu/issues/3388">#3388</a>), waiting to be audited,<br />liberated, and or purged</p>
<p>o/c ppl feel free to look into it (try to collect all sources<br />and build from source) - that would be the most important factor<br />- only then would i bother to audit the licensing and other FSDG<br />checks</p> Packages - Packaging Request #3400: [eclipse] Is it possible to package eclipse for Parabola?https://labs.parabola.nu/issues/3400?journal_id=183602022-12-20T14:32:48Zbill-auger
<ul><li><strong>Parent task</strong> set to <i>#3388</i></li></ul> Packages - Packaging Request #3400: [eclipse] Is it possible to package eclipse for Parabola?https://labs.parabola.nu/issues/3400?journal_id=184932023-01-02T18:39:12Zwael
<ul><li><strong>% Done</strong> changed from <i>0</i> to <i>100</i></li><li><strong>Priority</strong> changed from <i>bug</i> to <i>wish</i></li><li><strong>Status</strong> changed from <i>open</i> to <i>wont-fix</i></li></ul><p>I checked it again and I realized unless we patch plugins out (makes it useless) or vet them all we can't really package it. <br />I'll concentrate my efforts on documenting currently available options instead.</p>
