29 The fact that its not in the main tree yet may indicate that there
30 are some rough edges that you may not want to be exposed to. The
31 ebuild in that overlay seems to have dependencies from both the
32 java-experimental overlay and the main java-overlay.
33
34 Rather than install a bunch of software from outside the main tree,
35 it's probably a lot safer to use an eclipse-sdk-bin ebuild like the
36 one I've attached. You'll have to manually download
37 eclipse-SDK-3.3-linux-gtk.tar.gz or similar from eclipse.org and
38 save it in ${DISTDIR} before you can digest the ebuild and install
39 it (the gentoo-wiki guide should help you with that).
