We've moved packages that are in RHEL out to extras already, iirc. I'll add a little more flamage to the conversation and state that native eclipse is actually not that useful. It doesn't seem to run any faster than JDK eclipse, even though you'd think it would, and imposes serious limits on the usability, since you a) can't easily install any of the third-package plugins that aren't already packaged into RPMs, and b) can't update the plugins that come from RPMs, so you're stuck with old versions (e.g. a rather dated version of PyDev). So, unless you write lots of stuff in gcj-java, Eclipse as provided by Fedora would be of limited use. This is not to say that I don't appreciate the importance of gcj -- we really do need a fully free java implementation that can run any java app we throw at it. However, installing a natively compiled version of Eclipse is currently of questionable benefit, especially considering how much space it eats on the install media, so moving it out of core and into extras would make excellent sense.
