What is your use-case? I am not convinced that doing a major update of
Eclipse in F20 is a great idea, and I'm fairly sure it would be against the
'spirit' of the philosophy behind the Fedora updates policy:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Updates_Policy#Stable_Releases

If you really really really need Eclipse 4.4 as part of the base OS, then
you might consider trying F21 when the Alpha is released (or consider
trying it now, even and help us make sure it will be a solid release.)
