Wow, this is *really* great!
Since years, SableVM code C has been auto-indented with GNU indent, and
it works wonders. But we weren't able to properly indent Classpath
code. Now this should be possible.
I wonder, but shouldn't we also start indenting all the native C code
we have in GNU Classpath? I guess I can provide a small patch for that.

Not everybody uses Debian (I do), so I hope they'll take it. As for
packaging Eclipse for Debian - help would be greatly appreciated.
Current Eclipse in Debian is only 2.x, and NOT in Sarge/Testing due to
long-standing grave bugs. So yes, please do package it :-))))

It would be delightful :)

I think all GNU Classpath developers will support your request.
