Eclipse should be listed under "Additional plugins"

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The release notes of Python(x,y) 2.7.2.0 state "Eclipse is relegated to 
additional package status. The reasons being sheer size, maintenance and 
reduced value.".

However, an Eclipse installation package tailored for Python(x,y) can not be 
found on the "Additional plugins" page.
Using the default Python 2.7.2.1 installation, no indications about the proper 
way to install Eclipse and integrate it with Python(x,y) can be found.

Only one message mentions this problem: 
http://groups.google.com/group/pythonxy/msg/bacecc202dffb170?pli=1
The wiki needs to be updated to include the Eclipse package (if any) and 
installation instructions (installation directory so that Python(x,y) finds it).

Thanks

It is highly unlikely either of us will revive eclipse in any form. The cost in 
time and resources (bandwidth server storage) simple does not justify the 
effort.

Many references to eclipse were already removed - please assist by pointing out 
the rest.

Thank you.
Even if Eclipse is not provided as an additional package (which I completely 
understand), is Python(x,y) still meant to be used with it? 
Some Eclipse plug-ins are provided in Python(x,y) (/eclipse subdirectory), so 
shouldn't there be an how-to explaining their installation?

Both Eclipse and it's plugins are no longer packaged. There are no special 
instructions to use Python(x,y) with Eclipse:
1. Install Python(x, y)
2. Install Eclipse
3. Install PyDev

PyDev will auto detect the Python directory.

Thank you. Are you sure that there are no special instructions to use 
Python(x,y) with Eclipse? I noticed an "/eclipse" subdirectory inside 
Python(x,y).

Could you explain what is the purpose of this "/eclipse" subdirectory?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

No purpose. This is merely a left over.
