[eclipse-maintainers] Eclipse 3.0 Packages

[Jerry Haltom]

I am wasabi-guest on alioth.

No, it's not building on a free VM yet... but I think I'm pretty close.

The approach is fairly simple: build the Eclipse JDT with Kaffe and then
rebuild Eclipse with itself. It has a good chance of working.

I have managed to get the Eclipse JDT compiling fine with Kaffe, with a
few patches to fix up some imports (Kaffe bugs, will be reported once I
have a handle on them).

I have yet to work hard on getting Eclipse JDT building Eclipse. I know
it doesn't Just Work, there are a few syntax errors, and similar things.
I will simply fix them.

Most importantly though, I just wanted an Eclipse 3.0 package, of any
kind, so people could use it. It's taught me a ton about the Eclipse
build system!
