Because it is a long outdated, unmaintainable moloch with build dependencies from hell.

Okay, then I'm interested, which do you use overlays and which do you install packages for the eclipse? I would be happy to know the full path to the overlay and not just "seden" or "java-overlay". I found such at overlays.gentoo.org but I am not able to use it because earlier I never used any overlays. Also maybe I have to say that I'm a paludis user.

I did so as it is written there but got the failure:

You should ask why wasn't it masked long ago. Besides the vulnerabilities which alone are reason enough to mask it, there are many other bugs. On top, as gentstorm already mentioned, 3.5 is clearly outdated. You really are doing yourself a favor in not using 3.5.

For it to be unmasked again there needs to be a version bump which probably wont happen without a dedicated maintainer. Yes, eclipse is such a monstrosity to require such.

We see the exceptional importance of the package and therefore added an eclipse-sdk-bin to java-overlay as an exception to policy. Unfortunately the current resources aren't enough for more support from official side.

About adding an overlay:

Assuming you have properly configured the layman unavailable repository all you need to do is
Code:
cave resolve seden java-overlay
to make them available.
Configuring the layman unavailable repo will also let you see all packages in all layman overlays whether you have installed them or not. See Paludis official documentation on how to do this.


With Portage it's almost as simple.
Code:
emerge layman # follow the instructions given to setup layman for the first time
layman -a seden
layman -a java-overlay

As much as I love having everything compiled on gentoo, Eclipse is just too easy and better to manually download and unzip rather than emerging it.
You will always get the latest and issue free release.

It works, thanks.

But the Eclipse has some dependencies. But maybe you are right... the Eclipse from the sadan overlay depends on too many packages to install.

The obvious question then is why Gentoo does not provide a binary eclipse-sdk-bin package. I think it did in the past. If only to save us from the pain of going to eclipse.org to check for updates and doing the installation manually (simple as it may be).

A Gentoo developer once told me that his Gentoo-compiled eclipse runs noticeably faster (on his Gentoo system) than eclipse on his other system running some binary distribution (Debian?). I had a hard time believing it since optimizations at the source level should be much less of an issue with Java. Which makes the argument for a binary package all the more compelling.
