I will be adding more and probably changing the interface to them as well as I get more experience with writing these tools and using them. However, the most important tool is building these plugins is "pde-build" (upstream refers to it as pdebuild, but that named clashed with a pbuilder tool, so we have renamed it). This script is (together with a helper) generated during the build of eclipse. Sadly our current master branch[2] is broken by some regressions when we switched to the 3.5.2 branch. You can however build eclipse using pkg-java's mini-install[3] - the 3.5.1 sources are there (depending on your arch it may even be precompiled for you). You will need libmortbay-java and libjasper-java to build and install it (they are built and available from the arch all part). That version of eclipse probably do not ship with pde-build (and if it does, it is still by its old name). To this end I have created a little tar.gz that can generate pde-build from an installed eclipse [4]. I am not sure that pde-build is compatible with eclipse 3.4; you are welcome to try of course. To generate pde-build, just run (requires that eclipse-pde is installed): $ make $ sudo make install ~Niels [1] http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-java/javatools.git [2] http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-java/eclipse.git [3] http://wiki.debian.org/Teams/JavaPackaging [4] http://www.student.dtu.dk/~s072425/debian/eclipse/pde-build-gen.tar.gz
