Hello,

The workaround may work but dependencies are still wrong in the Eclipse DEB packages, since they demand the different versions of Java but not the right one, as already described in comment #31. If Java 8 is required, then the dependencies should relate only to Java 8. They should not absurdly demand Java 11 ('default-jre') or Java 5 or Java 6 any more!

The package needs a correction, not a workaround by end users.

Nothing has been amended for months at all (see 'apt show eclipse-jdt' or 'apt show eclipse-pde' for example). The Eclipse package dependencies are still a mess.

Is there a way to have the package maintainer eventually correct those unacceptably crappy package dependencies?
