eclipse-platform (3.5.2-6) unstable; urgency=low
The upgrade of eclipse may cause plugins to silently disappear.
The exact reason has yet to be determined and we are looking for
an automatic solution for this problem.
There are two known workarounds; one is two completely remove
~/.eclipse and re-install all user plugins. The other is to
manually merge "bundles.info" from ~/.eclipse with the
"bundles.info" from /usr/lib/eclipse. This solution is slightly
more complicated, but appears to restore user installed plugins
without having to reinstall them.
For more information on how to merge the bundles.info files,
you may want to have a look at #587657[1].
Note: this issue may also affect plugins installed via packages
from repositories (such as the packages eclipse-emf and
eclipse-rse).

eclipse-platform (3.5.2-1) unstable; urgency=low
In previous versions of eclipse (<< 3.5), it would extract shared
libraries to users ~/.eclipse. This has been fixed in the 3.5
series, but means that eclipse will have issues starting if you are
upgrading from an eclipse older than 3.5. Removing or renaming
~/.eclipse fixes this at the cost of losing personal configuration.
In 3.5 all the "choose a suitable JVM" code has been removed and
instead eclipse now respect alternatives. Old configuration files
for this purpose (including the user file ~/.eclipse/eclipserc) is
now obsolete and will be silently ignored.
