# recommended installation:
# nix-build -A eclipsesdk
# then cp -r $store-path ~/my-eclipse; chmod -R 777 ~/my-eclipse # ugh! I'm to lazy to assign permissions properly
# maybe also using a wrapper such as this (lower values should suffice for most needs)
#  eclipseWrapper () {
#     "$@" -vmargs -Xms2048m -Xmx2048m -XX:MaxPermSize=2048m

# Why use a local copy? This way it's easier to use the update manager to get plugins :-)
