</I>Being an Eclipse user, I'd love to try updating the Eclipse packages.
Alas, that's one very complex build. Perhaps porting the spec from
Fedora or another RPM-based distribution using a more modern Eclipse
would be easier than trying to update what is already there.
Once my mentoring starts, I'd certainly be up for trying my hand at
that, along with some of the other simpler unmaintained packages that I
would personally use.
