Request #28192 has been rejected by alex19EP [1]:

should be the other way around. this package is binary and this is reflected in its name.

Historically, Eclipse packages have never included a "-bin" prefix despite being binary re-distribution - even when Eclipse was in the [community] repository, it did not have a "-bin" prefix even though it was not compiled.

sorry i didn't know about that.

With this in mind, I would like to request an exemption to the "-bin" naming based on the historical precedent of how Eclipse packages have been named both officially and unofficially. If approved, I'll re-submit a request to merge with eclipse-java [1].

looks logical to me. I will accept such requests next time. sorry for the inconvenience.
