Bug#447202: eclipse-platform: Not start-/usable for inexperienced users

[Josip Rodin]

Hi,

I just installed some 70 MB of eclipse-jdt, which according to its
description should have been enough, but it wasn't, I got no binary.
Because of the eclipse-pde and eclipse-source dependencies, I had to get
another 37 MB of stuff.

I'm not sure if the excess stuff is even really necessary, because I edited
the Depends: line in the eclipse .deb package and removed the two extra
dependencies, installed that, and the eclipse binary worked just the same.

It looks like a -bin package would be the way to go. Or move the eclipse(1)
stuff into the -platform package or something like that.
