Hi,

updating Eclipse to the latest version is a non-trivial task and
requires a lot of time and research. I have also tried it but I never
got to the point where I felt comfortable with the result. That doesn't
mean I have given up yet but it requires some dedicated effort. In
short: I can't help you at the moment but if you are able to reproduce
Fedora's packaging of Eclipse, then you are one step closer to the final
result.

Regards,

Markus
