=46reeBSD is not the supported OS for Eclipse 3.1.=20
1  The broken help file bug applies not to just FreeBSD OS but to other OS'=
s.=20
Itm seems to be a bug that may have repercussion for any OS.
2. This is meant to be a Java source tree the whole virtue of that is that =
the=20
project should be free of operating system constraints.
3. eclipse is now, according to my understanding, an open source project an=
d=20
as such there are no rules such as "FreeBSD is not the supported OS" for an=
=20
open source project. It is either open source - in which case the open sour=
ce=20
community includes all OS's or not. Just because ibm donated the eclipse co=
de=20
to the open source, does not in my view, mean that the concerns of other OS=
=20
users can be ethically abandoned.
4. I can ubnderstand someone saying   "I have no personal experience with=20
=46reeBSD" but the debug information includes java event details which are=
=20
certainly platform independent.
5. Cazn you therefore please comment on what the java event details tell yo=
u=20
and if there arre some operating system implications then the freebsd ports=
=20
maintainers can look at that side of the issue.
6. Can we please have some fun and co-operation within the open source=20
community from which we all benefit and to which we all contribute.
Thanks

David
