Details
jre only provides java-runtime. Either change the eclipse
dependency as suggested or add java-environment to the
provides in jre. This prevents a false missing dependency
when using jre.
Thanks. |

Reason for closing: Won't implement
Additional comments about closing: Research suggests JDK is the right dependency, and that some non-strictly-Java-related features of Eclipse will be broken without a java compiler.

Would it be possible to add java-runtime to depends and java-environment to optdepends of eclipse? java-environment is not needed to start eclipse.
The remaining issue is whether or not the jdk needed for eclipse. Anecdotally, it appears people say you can start it with just the jre, but it's not clear if this is a supported use; some features might not work.
Anyone know of any more official word on this from Eclipse? I'll do some poking for some if I get some time.
