Had a chance to install this afternoon. Is this really still necessary 
(please see dependency resolution report from yum on bottom of msg)? 
Some of those make sense to me but tomcat? I seem to remember something 
about this issue before but don't remember what in particular it was.

Other than that it seems to run clean and work well. Was able to use my 
existing workspace and add my extension location without issue at all. 
I'm going to pound on it in the cdt and phpeclipse arena a little more 
but subclipse and the basics all seem to be functional if not a tad bit 
sluggish (i have no metrics to back that up).

Is there a policy for those extensions that make it into the repo and 
those that don't? Or a general fedora policy on how to handle extensible 
  applications (gstreamer, firefox, thunderbird, eclipse)? Because their 
support seems to differ across applications. Maintaining every extension 
seems like a waste of developer resources and asking each user on a 
system to install the same extension seems redundant and tedious. 
Regardless thanks for all the good work andrew et al. and ill report any 
new issues to bugzilla. -mf
