If you are interested in packaging these plugins, it will be quite easy and we (Fedora Java SIG) can help you through the initial packaging.  Ask on #fedora-java on Freenode or via java-devel.org.  Thanks.

The new packages eclipse-gcov/eclipse-gprof require changes to remove a circular dependency between eclipse-gprof and eclipse-gcov plug-ins that causes errors when built separately using Fedora build systems.  To remove the dependency, plug-ins needed to be moved into eclipse-linuxprofilingframework and some additional plug-ins were needed in dependent packages such as eclispe-birt.  As such, the new packages will be provided in the next release which will be F17.

The changes have been made and the new packages have been added/reviewed for rawhide (F17).  The following builds are now available:

eclipse-gprof-0.7.0-0.1.20110718gitc011a2c7a0.fc17
eclipse-gcov-0.6.0-0.1.20110718gitc011a2c7a0.fc17

Fixing close status per Fedora guidelines.

Note I have added the two packages to f16 which is currently in Alpha.  They should be shortly available through the f16 updates-testing repo or if you want to download the rpms directly from the koji build site:

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=257896
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=257895

They will require the changes to eclipse-linuxprofilingframework which from koji you can get here:

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=253416

and eclipse-birt from here:

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=252769

Thank you very much for packaging these. As much as I appreciate what you've done I still need to complain :-) Is there any reason why they cannot be updated in current (f14/f15) fedora releases? This does not seem as groundbreaking change that needs to be put on hold, right?

Jeff had to make upstream changes which are only applicable on master and cannot easily be back-ported to the dependency versions in F14/F15.  Sorry.

Understood. Thanks anyway.
