Add desktop integration to the eclipse package

[Pantelis Koukousoulas]

We need desktop integration for the eclipse package. This means the following files will need to be added under debian/ in the source package:

        * eclipse.menu
        * extras/eclipse.desktop

We also need appropriate icons for the desktop and panel in debian/extras.
Those files exist already in the svn and in the experimental ubuntu package
so the task is about tracking them down, reviewing them and adding the
correct postinst etc snippets to make them work.

I tested this patch only on Ubuntu 8.10. I couldn't make git to include png files in the diff, so I attach them separately.

[Pantelis Koukousoulas (pktoss)]

Thanks a lot for the patch :-)

I 'll try to test it tomorrow in debian. Btw, the previous package had
the png(s) uuencoded. Maybe you should do that as well?
(this way it would surely fit inside the patch if nothing else :-)

Is it possible to have an svg version of this icon?

[Pantelis Koukousoulas (pktoss)]

It seems it is:

http://www.bearfruit.org/files/eclipse-icon-clean.svg
http://www.bearfruit.org/files/eclipse-icon.svg

(amazing what a little googling finds you :-)

Btw, according to
http://osdir.com/ml/linux.debian.packages.java.cvs/2005-10/msg00104.html
we cannot include binary files in a source package. So, we either have to
uuencode/uudecode like the existing debian package or we could produce
the png from the above svg source? (assuming the license is ok)

[Ilya Barygin (randomaction)]

For the time being, I have created a new script in debian/scripts and
added a call for it from "prepare" section of debian/rules, to call
uudecode for PNGs. I don't know if it's the best way to handle this,
but at least it seems to work.

There are no SVG icons in the original sources, but indeed we could use
a third-party one (or something possibly can be found on eclipse.org).
SVG icons may be used in menus directly (Wine does that).

[Pantelis Koukousoulas (pktoss)]

Could we have the updated patch please?
uuencoded pngs are fine for now I guess.

[Ilya Barygin (randomaction)]

Here you are :)

[Ilya Barygin (randomaction)]

Another update, with SVG icon now. I have rewritten the icon, it's down from 84K to 1.8K :)
