Removal of Eclipse library depedency #5

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Jupiter historically include Eclipse's library in source distribution. The
reason is that it supported command-line build and multiple Eclipse
versions (say 2.1 and 3.0), in which APIs changes quite frequently).  Now
it's probably time to get rid of this and enforce a dependency of
ECLIPSE_HOME. Eclipse's APIs are stable and another major release is
probably miles away. We will not no longer work on Eclipse 2.1
compatibility any more. When somebody wants it, we can simply provide
him/her an old version of Jupiter. After making this change, document must
be upgraded and highlighted.

My investigation showed that it is possible to remove the copy of Eclipse's 
library.
However, some of Jupiter's function depends on some restricted APIs. One 
example is
the auto update dialog box. They should be removed.
