Announcement:

Eclipse IDE and its ancillary packages are orphaned now. As a result the Eclipse IDE will no longer be installable as a package in Fedora 35.

What is happening?

Nearly 180 Java packages were orphaned after the Fedora 34 release due to a lack of community maintainers willing to share the package maintenance burden. Despite the fact that many have been taken up, the Eclipse IDE stack still depends on some of the orphaned Java packages and requires modifications to them (e.g. injecting OSGi metadata), which in turn has resulted in the Eclipse package itself also being orphaned.

The Eclipse Team at Red Hat can no longer maintain the Eclipse packages in Fedora, and instead we are focusing our efforts on prioritizing upstream development to ensure that the Eclipse IDE continues to receive regular updates and maintenance.

What does this mean for Eclipse users?

The Eclipse IDE and its ancillary packages will no longer be installable as rpm packages. Users are encouraged to download and install Eclipse directly from upstream, or install Eclipse via flatpak.

List of packages orphaned (all were maintained for the sake of Eclipse stack):

* eclipse

* cbi-plugins

* eclipse-ecf

* eclipse-egit

* eclipse-emf

* eclipse-gef

* eclipse-jgit

* eclipse-license

* eclipse-m2e-core

* eclipse-m2e-workspace

* eclipse-mpc

* eclipse-subclipse

* eclipse-webtools

* felix-gogo-command

* felix-gogo-parent

* felix-gogo-runtime

* felix-gogo-shell

* felix-scr

* icu4j

* jsch

* lucene

* rhino

* takari-polyglot

* tycho
