Re: [gentoo-java] Eclipse Libraries

[Serkan Kaba <serkan@gentoo.org>]

Once I tried building RCP part of eclipse standalone but gave up
because they were too highly coupled and I didn't manage to get a
working dependency order. Since then upstream started providing build
tools for Eclipse. I don't know if it allows building a stand-alone
RCP or parts of it.

If you try to continue the work, I'd love to share my experience (as
far as I remember since it's been a long time)

Serkan
