[SOLVED] Why isn't eclipse in the official pacman repository?

I think eclipse is a remarkable IDE.
There is one in the AUR repository, but if I only want eclipse-cpp, no way to install it without many unwanted things (like eclipse-java, eclispe-php ...).

It used to be. It's a PITA to package and maintain, and the current setup makes little sense to package.

Relevant mail list discussion below. It was removed as part of the last spring cleanup.

That's sad... I basically got my post-graduate degree with it, but wouldn't touch it with a 12-foot pole now.
