Do we have any information on the last update of that page?

I ask because it states "Still, other factors could be targeted and addressed to
promote the further adoption of Eclipse on Linux. Such factors might include:
Facilitation of Eclipse distribution via Linux package management methods (RPM,
Deb)".  The page then goes on to give an overview of packages and package
management in the Linux world.

Yet Eclipse in on my newly (Friday 6/16) created FC5 box, put there by default
through RPMs when the "Development Tools(?)" option was selected during initial
install.
