For the time being I have uploaded a PKGBUILD based on option 3. According to 
Philips suggestion I am going to ask upstream for a source tarball not needing 
eclipse to build, but I am not very optimistic. I think that if they had 
wanted to issue such a tarball, they would already have done so.

Nevertheless, I'll give it a try.

Thanks for all your replies and suggestions.

Cheers, Christoph
