I like to know this as well.

I'm also very keen on feedback.  I have to pass a lesson which is
based on Eclipse 3.4 on behalf of my employer in the beginning of
December.  So I have three options:

   1. Test a (possibly inofficial) Debian package of 3.4 and perhaps
      try to work a little bit on it (but I have nearly zero Java and
      Eclipse knowledge - currently)
   2. Try to install directly from upstream (which is not helpful for
      Debian)
   3. Use a Win Laptop with Eclipse 3.4 provided by my employer (uhm ...)

I'd prefer option 1 - but what I really need is some information whether
this is a real option.

Kind regards

          Andreas.
