done in this area to make it one of the standard downloads?

It is a standard download. Unfortunately, its availability lasted for only
one release (M1). Then they started a re-engineering project on it that has
so far prevented a subsequent release.

You can try this (worked for 10.1 a couple days ago for me). At your own
risk, of course. :-)

Go to
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/plat form-swt-home/0904/

and download the Eclipse_2.0.dmg.gz

Unzip it, and mount the drive on your Mac.

Read the 'Read Me.rtf' file contained within. I quote here from said file:

<quote>

How to run Eclipse 2.0 on MacOS X

– Unpack the archive, mount the disk image and copy its contents into
a folder 'Eclipse 2.0' on your hard disk

– Download any Eclipse SDK 2.0 or 2.0.1 release (platform does not matter)
from www.eclipse.org into your 'Eclipse 2.0' folder

– unpack the Eclipse zip file with /usr/bin/unzip (don't use StuffIt
Expander because
it silently truncates file names longer than 31 characters!);
open the top level folder 'eclipse'

– Open the context menu on the aplication 'Eclipse 2.0' and select
'Show Package Contents': the application opens as a folder (the
'bundle').

– Drill down to 'Contents/Resources/Java' and copy the contents of
the previously opened folder 'eclipse' into the folder 'Java'
(if the 'Contents' folder is disabled and you cannot open it,
just log-out and log-in again or use the command line)

– Delete the single plugin 'org.eclipse.swt.Xyz_2.0.0' where Xyz
corresponds
to the platform that you've downloaded in step 2 (one of 'gtk',
'motif', 'photo', 'win32').

– Copy the three MacOS X plugins into 'Contents/Resources/Java/plugins'

– Close all folders and double click the 'Eclipse 2.0' application.
After a minute or so it should open an empty workspace showing a Readme
document.

</quote>


Note that this step 5 is unclear, even incorrect, and should read:

– Drill down to 'Contents/Resources/Java' and copy the contents of
the previously opened folder 'eclipse/Eclipse_20/Contetns/Resources/Java'
into the folder 'Java'
(if the 'Contents' folder is disabled and you cannot open it,
just log-out and log-in again or use the command line)

Note also that you need to download an actual version of Eclipse as well.
This is just the SWT stuff, and an empty Eclipse "app wrapper".

I did this, and Eclipse ran, at least. I never actually tried to do
anything with it, but the app launched and came up.
