Package: eclipse-cdt
Version: 3.0.1-3
Severity: normal
Hello,
Most importantly, thanks for maintaining eclipse in the debian package
system!
Would it be possible to have eclipse-cdt depend only on eclipse-platform
rather than eclipse-pde?
The C++ plugin from the eclipse.org website can be setup to run with only
the "platform runtime binary" installed. From the eclipse website:
"
Platform Runtime Binary
These drops contain only the Eclipse Platform with user documentation and no
source and no programmer documentation. The Java development tools and
Plug-in Development Environment are NOT included. You can use these drops to
help you package your tool plug-ins for redistribution when you don't want to
ship the entire SDK.
"
This sounds equivalent to the debian package "eclipse-platform", so it seems
as though eclipse-cdt could depend only on "eclipse-platform".
Benefits: Simpliar C++ IDE b/c won't have ignore the Java and plugin
development menus installed with from eclipse-pde and eclipse-jdt. Smaller
download and install size.
Thanks again!
C.
