Hi there,
I had a few question about Eclipse's future in Ubuntu, if there's any. Fedora Core 4 has shipped with Eclipse 3.x natively compiled RPMS, and I believe that's the basic development environment Fedora is pushing. I use Eclipse for C++ work, and I've been quite impressed so far. I won't go too much into the details about Eclipse and the C/C++ Development Tools, but I was wondering if there is any plans of packaging a gcj-compiled version of Eclipse with Ubuntu Breezy. I know there KDevelop for KDE users but I feel comfortable with GNOME. Anjuta 2.0 looks very promising but still very unstable and buggy. It's just a curiousity, and I thought I'd ask the forums about it. The natively-compiled version of Eclipse supposedly is quicker, and not as memory hungry as the VM-executed version; I haven't had the chance to test that claim, but that's the word these days.
If anyone knows where I could find (unsupported) deb packages for a natively-compiled Eclipse version, that'd be great. I can always use alien on Fedora packages but that's my last option.
Thanks a ton in advance, everyone. To the Ubuntu team, keep up all the magnificent work!
