Eclipse debian package

Create a get_orig_source.sh script in debian/

Affects		Status	Importance	Assigned to	Milestone
	Eclipse debian package	New	Undecided	Unassigned

Bug Description

This will be responsible for getting the required .tar.bz2/zip packages from upstream:

  * Eclipse itself (sourceIncluded)
  * fileinitializer
  * ecf-filetransfer

this task includes figuring out exactly who is upstream for each of the above :)

I guess our upstreams are:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/EquinoxInitializer
http://wiki.eclipse.org/ECF_Filetransfer_API_Bundle

There is no upstream package for Fileinitializer. The source, however, can be obtained via cvs.

I think we have the following options:

1. Leave Fileinitializer as it is now - a patch.
2. Make get_orig_source.sh retrieve Fileinitializer via cvs. In this case, will we have to add cvs as a build dependency? Also, the code in repository is not exactly the same as in the present patch, the only difference being bundlename in plugin.properties (changed from "Initializer Plug-in" to "Initializer Plug-in (Incubation)").
3. File a bug asking for a "source drop". This was suggested back in 2007, but never done [1].

So, what shall we do? #3 seems to be the best option, but it could take long, so we should probably file a bug, but proceed with #2 as a temporary solution.

Is there any reason that get-orig-source gets eclipse-sourceBuild-srcIncluded-3.4.1.zip (source + binaries) instead of eclipse-sourceBuild-srcFetch-3.4.1.zip (only source)? It's 3-4 times lighter, and there'd be no need to clean *.so, etc.

Never mind, it's lighter because there's no source code :)

To be honest I don't remember exactly, but I think the srcFetch does not include
all the binary external jars etc and we do use those.

(At least for now, until all dependencies are in debian)

Ah, yes, the srcFetch is the one that fetches everything from CVS :-)
