I've prepared an initial port of 3.1RC1, if you are interested. I haven't downloaded the Linux package yet to compare file locations, but at first glance the help contents appear to display correctly after configuring an external browser. The port files are here: http://www.varju.ca/alex/freebsd/eclipse-devel-3.1RC1-1.tgz I'll probably submit a PR for this in the next day or two. Alex.
