Plugeclipse

Plugeclipse is a toolset for "debianizing" the Eclipse extensions.

Currently, the toolset consists of single script, plugeclipse-package, that imports features from the Eclipse update site and generates Debian source package from it. Actually, generated "source" packages does not contain any sources, but binary features and plugins. During the package building these plugins and features are copied to the appropriate locations.

The following functionality is considered to be implemented in the future:

• ability to update existent package from the update site (something like uupdate with check if extension structure is changed).
• support for the true source packages, i.e ability to import real sources and build binary package containing required features from them (using headless Eclipse build, for example, or provided Ant script). See #17 and #22 for more details.

Refer to the roadmap for planned list of features.
