At long last, eclipse has been updated to the latest release and is now
under the stewardship of Jimmy Kelly. This version supports OpenJDK8
runtime environments. A special thanks to Jonathan Chen for getting the
ball rolling after the PR stalled.

. We are now installing a real eclipse product.
. Only the jar files for the platform are built, dramatically reducing
the time necessary to build (thanks to the Fedora devs for the idea
and the basic procedure).
. Lot of small fixes to the build procedure to make future imports easier
. Some of the bundles are pre-extracted during install to improve
launching time.
. JDK 1.6 is required to build but any jre (1.5 or 1.6) can be used in
Preferences->Java->Installed JREs. JDK 1.4 is unfortunately not
supported at this time.
. Switch to x86_64 architecture name instead of amd64 to be more in-line
with mainline eclipse.
Note that after this update you will need to reinstall any plugins you've
installed with the built in Update Manager. This is a one time thing.

- Fixes for internal web browser on amd64 [2]
- Convert to USE_GECKO [3]
Note: Port defaults to xulrunner as the preffered gecko port because it is
the only port which allows the internal web browser to work but eclipse will
build using other gecko ports (ie. firefox, mozilla, seamonkey) though it
will lack a working internal web browser. An argument can be made that
xulrunner should be the only available gecko but maybe 5 people have
xulrunner installed and it's another 45 minute mozilla dependency on even my
speedy machine. The maintainer mentioned working on getting the internal
web browser to work with firefox so I'm leaving well enough alone. When
eclipse fully works with firefox the USE_GECKO ordering should probably be
revistited.
