IIRC, there was also mention previously of moving all of the "eclipse bits" to /usr/ports/eclipse... although it's late and the details escape me at this moment. I think perhaps Dan suggested it... I'll have to scan the archives. (Or someone can chime in.) Perhaps this is something that could be considered at the same time, if changes are being made. I'll give 3.3.1.1 a try tomorrow at the office and will let you know how it goes! Thanks for your superb work... I for one am most appreciative! Mike.
