Fedora eclipse-ecj is also missing an epoch, but only for the ecj 
Provides and Obsoletes.

$ rpm -q --provides eclipse-ecj

ecj = 3.4.1-5.fc10
eclipse-ecj = 1:3.4.1-5.fc10
eclipse-ecj(x86-64) = 1:3.4.1-5.fc10

$ rpm -q --obsoletes eclipse-ecj
ecj < 3.4.1-5.fc10

I think that this is causing conflicts with the standalone ecj packages 
currently floating around JPackage and some internal Red Hat builds.

Aside from that, I am all for a standalone ecj.

I am also for a standalone swt, but that is another can of worms. In 
either case, it would allow those packages to grow independently of 
eclipse builds (or their bugs). And as you mentioned, they are much 
quicker to build and update.
