Bug Description
Binary package hint: eclipse
Hello,
We are working on a package 'zekr' that needs SWT 3.5 java libraries.
First we built it against the library in libswt-gtk* packages that
were built from eclipse source package, but we got an error when
running the resulting binary:
org.eclipse.
no swt-xulrunner-
java.library.path or the jar file)
org.

Although the package libswt-gtk-3.5-jni was installed (which includes
libswt-
So I prepared swt-gtk 3.5.1-1 package based on Debian swt-gtk 3.4.2-3
package.
When zekr was run against the packages built from swt-gtk, it ran
successfully.
Now the problem is that both eclipse & swt-gtk provide the same package
names: libswt-gtk-3.5-jni & libswt-gtk-3.5-java
Which causes this issue (reported by Mohammad Derakhshani):
> eclipse-platform package depends on libswt-gtk-3.5-java (=
> 3.5.1+repack~
> the zekr's repository, he or she cannot install eclipse.
Previous packages of eclipse (and the Debian eclipse packages), it used
to provide those package names instead: libswt<
libswt<
I don't know why Ubuntu changed the way eclipse names its swt library
packages. I hope it would be returned to the way it used to be, that
would also lessen the differences between Debian & Ubuntu regarding
eclipse & swt-gtk.
