Something else to keep in mind. If you're planning to actually compile
Eclipse, then you'll probably need a newer compiler than the GCC 3.3 bits
currently in Fedora.
I've been discussing this issue with Red Hat's Eclipse engineers and the
overall recommendation is to produce and maintain a snapshot of the GCC 3.4
tree as an add-on to the Fedora system. You could then use that GCC 3.4
snapshot to compile Eclipse.
GCC 3.4 hasn't been released yet, it's C++ code is binary incompatible with
GCC 3.3 and we certainly haven't done thorough testing of the entire Fedora
system with it yet. So I wouldn't necessarily recommend it for daily use,
but it should be good enough to build Eclipse.
That would also give developers that want to be on the bleeding edge a
change to start using the new compiler and help shake out bugs.
Thoughts?
