I have my doubts
 that redistributing the JRE/JDK is the best approach. It would be 
really hard to keep up with all the updates for it. I'd prefer if the 
JRE/JDK installers take care of that.
But really, how
 hard would it be for an installer to check for a JRE and prompt the 
user through installing it. I continue to believe that the best 
installer strategy is to use a native installer that can manage native 
things like this.

    I have, although it was over a year ago. It's ..... complicated. The
    issues are mostly around the packaging requirements and the legal
    terms and conditions. They are not insurmountable, but it would be a
    non-trivial amount of technical, legal, and administrative effort to
    get our packages into these channels.
    
    In my humble opinion, if someone was volunteering to do more work in
    this area getting up-to-date packages into the Debian and Ubuntu apt
    repositories is where I would start. (I think you Red Hat folk are
    already keeping it current on Fedora/yum, right?)
    
    Why do you ask?
    
    
  
 
  
  
    
  
    Hi all,
    
    Has anyone already evaluated the benefits/difficulties to have
    Eclipse IDE featured on the Window Store or other app stores?
    
    Cheers,
