Well, Eclipse 3.0 has been out for what, a year, or more?

It's time we had useful packages.

So, as I said previously, here are some useful preliminary packages:

You can build these using a non-Free JVM, you can run them without any
modifications.

A lot of the code was taken from the JPackage project. Some more was
taking from the previous Eclipse 2.1 packages.

There is much work to be done. If nobody wants them, then I'll just use
them for myself. They are however a good start.

Knowing where or even if I should commit these packages would be
helpful.

The plan is to use Kaffe or another free VM to build the Eclipse JDT,
and then use the Eclipse JDT to build everything else. The first part is
done. The second part is being "difficult". I'd appreciate help.
