Eclipse 3.5 "Galileo" packages for Ubuntu

UPDATE 29/10/2009: Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala finally has a proper Eclipse 3.5 packages, but you'll probably still be interested in my plugins: take a look here

I've stopped providing packages for older versions of Ubuntu. I recommend you upgrade to at least Ubuntu 9.10.

If you're both an Ubuntu user and a developer using Eclipse, you probably know about the humiliating state the Eclipse packages in the Ubuntu repository are in at the moment. The latest version available in Jaunty is Eclipse 3.2!

So I decided to set up a PPA with up-to-date eclipse packages and also packages for many of it's more popular plugins. To use it, just add the following line to your software sources list: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/yogarine/eclipse/ubuntu jaunty main

And then run the following on the terminal to add my gpg key: wget http://www2.yogarine.com/eclipse-ppa.key -O- | sudo apt-key add - && sudo apt-get update

Now you can install my eclipse packages like you normally would, e.g.: sudo apt-get install eclipse-pdt Will install the Eclipse PHP Development Tools and all it's dependencies.
