I would like to be more conservative as the fast release cadence of
Eclipse is a nightmare for packaging on Linux, a lower baseline is a
lot more forgiving, especially on the current version, however I think
4.8 should be fine for the moment.

Jie should know more about the exact versioning as he did the
packaging for Fedora and RHEL and may give some better feedback, he is
away for a few days however, he will be back after Oracle Code One.

Cheers,
Mario
