At long last, eclipse has been updated to the latest release and is now
under the stewardship of Jimmy Kelly. This version supports OpenJDK8
runtime environments. A special thanks to Jonathan Chen for getting the
ball rolling after the PR stalled.

. We are now installing a real eclipse product.
. Only the jar files for the platform are built, dramatically reducing
the time necessary to build (thanks to the Fedora devs for the idea
and the basic procedure).
. Lot of small fixes to the build procedure to make future imports easier
. Some of the bundles are pre-extracted during install to improve
launching time.
. JDK 1.6 is required to build but any jre (1.5 or 1.6) can be used in
Preferences->Java->Installed JREs. JDK 1.4 is unfortunately not
supported at this time.
. Switch to x86_64 architecture name instead of amd64 to be more in-line
with mainline eclipse.
Note that after this update you will need to reinstall any plugins you've
installed with the built in Update Manager. This is a one time thing.
