Hello Adrien,

It's nice to hear that your laboratory is using to Debian, and I wish I
could state otherwise, however, I think it's very unlikely that we will
have Eclipse 4.x packages ready for the jessie release.  That said, I
would be happy to be proven wrong.

I haven't looked at the challenges of packaging Eclipse 4 directly, but
suspect that it's a large undertaking.  It's primarily a question of
having sufficient volunteer developers to go around.

I didn't want your question to go without an answer.

Regards,
tony
