On Sunday 05 June 2005 09:22, the author bugzilla-daemon@eclipse.org contributed to the dialogue on- eclipse Bugzilla 98443 Help File System=20 broken:=20 [Bug 98443] Help file does not function From: bugzilla-daemon@eclipse.org To: vizion@vizion.occoxmail.com https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=3D98443 =2D------ Additional Comments From dejan@ca.ibm.com =A02005-06-05 13:47 ---= =2D--- =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.
