If you're planning to actually compile Eclipse, then you'll probably need a newer compiler than the GCC 3.3 bits currently in Fedora. I've been discussing this issue with Red Hat's Eclipse engineers and the overall recommendation is to produce and maintain a snapshot of the GCC 3.4 tree as an add-on to the Fedora system. You could then use that GCC 3.4 snapshot to compile Eclipse. GCC 3.4 hasn't been released yet, it's C++ code is binary incompatible with GCC 3.3 and we certainly haven't done thorough testing of the entire Fedora system with it yet. So I wouldn't necessarily recommend it for daily use, but it should be good enough to build Eclipse. That would also give developers that want to be on the bleeding edge a change to start using the new compiler and help shake out bugs. Thoughts? jeff
