One problem I have you don’t get to see the actual repo the item is found. For example I search for a junit, I get a lot of results, but I don’t want to use some random one. I’d like the actual ‘offical’ repo for junit.

@burno: yep, I’ve heard about maven and there are some great maven tools for Eclipse. In fact, the fine folks behind Maven are doing some excellent work in the Eclipse community. Likely a great area for integration is Maven and the Target Platform work.

@Udo: yes, this is a much needed feature. See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=266311

Great overview of the new Target Platform features in Eclipse 3.6.
I only miss, maybe I don’t know yet, a tool to use the selfmade target platform as build dependency in an automatic PDE build, i.e. I just add a “target platform” property to my build.properties file and the build knows where to get the dependencies from.

Never heard about Maven in Eclipse Land ?
