Eclipse packaging

Hello everybody,

I'd also like to help with packaging Eclipse for Debian. I'm not a
professional programmer, and have dealt mostly with C/C++ and Perl. I
have no experience in packaging and Java.

Bug 308652 [1] looks reasonably simple for me to work on. At the
moment, I have eclipse.menu and eclipse.desktop files as well as
several icons, but still have to figure out where to put what. There
seems to be no postinst or prerm scripts in the current version (and
there are some things to put in them), and I guess build.sh needs to be
modified so that icons land in the right place. I'll try to research
this on weekend, but if someone has a quick hint I'll appreciate that.
