I think we should not expect users to read 50 lines of “discussion”
buried in some ‘default.nix’.

Instead, the problem should be fixed so that things work out-of-the-box,
or, if it can’t really be fixed, it should be documented.

(I don’t use Eclipse so I can’t tell about the technical problem at
hand.)

Thanks,
Ludo’.
