Hi,
A few weeks ago the Eclipse group here at Red Hat participated in an initiative to get a project started on eclipse.org that would create a space for discussing issues that GNU/Linux distros have packaging Eclipse. The original proposal can be found here:
http://en.opensuse.org/Eclipse/EclipseOnLinux
and the mailing list that was created is here:
https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-distros-dev
If you interested in packaging Eclipse plugins for Fedora Extras and/or interested in general packaging related problems with Eclipse, feel free to sign up to the mailing list and participate as much as you want.
Cheers, Ben
