+      Is there one distribution providing support for up to date Eclipse installations?
+      There are various reasons why not.
+      Installing binaries just works. Get Eclipse binaries form eclipse.org/downloads

+      nix-run-eclipse $PATH_TO_ECLIPSE/eclipse/eclipse
+      and be happy. Everything works including update sites.
