+I don't agree with you at that point. I always take the tarball from
+eclipse.org (for eclipse) or netbeans.org (for netbeans) instead of the
+one's of repository provided by the distro.
+The reason is quite simple, the one's mentioned above are newer than the
+one's in the repos (often, not always but everywhere i looked for it, it was
+so)
+
+But there may be people who will first look in rpmdrake or urpmi that's
+right, but not everybody.
