Re: [linux-distros-dev] Backporting PyDev to Java 1.4

[Igor Foox <ifoox@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Here's a new patch,

This one works against the newly released PyDev 1.1.0. All of the
patches are now in one patch instead of 3, as previously.

I'm still working on getting a default interpreter set-up, and I'm
hitting a rut there. I'll give it another try tonight.

The new 1.1.0 patch can be found at:
http://people.redhat.com/ifoox/pydev/eclipse-pydev-1.1.0-backport-megapatch.patch

Thanks,
Igor

P.S. If anybody is using this for other distros, I'd appreciate any
feedback.
