Deb ques: I use Eclipse 3.5 (Galileo) on Lenney

How come you can't upgrade eclipse?

even 3.7,   Since I have Eclipse 3.5 that was no big surprise.

I have the dkpged Scala 2.7.7 compiler loaded on the system
externally.

What version of the Scala-ide plugin do I need and where can I find an
archive?

I can't find an archive for the Scala-ide anywhere.

thanks in advance.

I've been using Len now for a couple of years. I just completed a
major update.
I think Squeeze, the newest Deb release has Eclipse 3.6.

I could point aptitude at a Squeeze repository and grab Eclipse 3.6,
but couldn't doing that result in breaking something else in Lenny?
This system seems pretty stable now. I use it daily for Java Devl.
I think it would be safer to stick with "stable" packages from the
Lenny distribution on this machine. Any idea where I might find an
archive of the Scala-ide?

Also you could download the .deb directly from the Squeeze repository. Check if it has any dependencies you don't have (it shouldn't).

You should upgrade your eclipse - there is no reason why your deb
system has to maintain that package (and hold you back). Worst case,
download the eclipse distribution and install it manually (it's just a
zip that get extracted in any case).

Long, long, long time Linux user here. I never use the packaged
Eclipse IDE shipped with (any) distribution.

Get it from Eclipse.org instead.

This is my stack running on XFCE, works great.
