Summary: Review Request: ecj - Eclipse Compiler for the Java programming language Product: Fedora Core Version: devel Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: normal Component: Package Review AssignedTo: nobody@fedoraproject.org ReportedBy: overholt@redhat.com QAContact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org CC: fedora-package-review@redhat.com,notting@redhat.com

Spec URL: http://overholt.ca/eclipse/ecj.spec SRPM URL: http://overholt.ca/eclipse/ecj-3.2.1-1.fc7.src.rpm Description: ECJ is the Java bytecode compiler of the Eclipse Platform. It is also known as the JDT Core batch compiler.

This package is somewhat a duplicate of the existing eclipse-ecj package (a sub-package of the eclipse SRPM). Due to developments in gcc, the gcc SRPM will soon need to BuildRequires: eclipse-ecj. This large dependency (and build loop) is undesirable so this separate ecj package was created. eclipse-ecj will cease to exist when this package is included.

This package cannot go into Extras due to the gcc requirement on it.
