Third and last warning, I will orphan eclipse next saturday (20th June), so if
somebody from the Java team is interested, please step up now. Usually, I
would have orphaned the package already, but I was hoping from somebody from the
team take over it. Sadly, I did not get a word from any of the uploaders (a "i am not
longer interested" email would have been nice) or from somebody else from the
team.

For the record, even if the last version we have in Debian is 3.2.2, there was
some work done (from one year ago) in the SVN for the version 3.4:
http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-java/trunk/eclipse/debian/?op=log&rev=0&sc=0&isdir=1
