Ok, I updated the eclipse 3.2.1 port to replace the existing
java/eclipse port. Also I removed some of the taring and extracting that
the eclipse ant build scripts do to save some space as you suggested.
The assemble and package ant scripts now write the files to the eclipse
directory instead of to a tar file and then extracting it to eclipse
directory. The taring of the eclipse directory no longer happens. During
"make install" the eclipse directory is copyed to the install location
instead of extracting the tar file as it did before since I changed it
to not create the tar file anymore. This should save some diskspace as
you suggested. You can download the new shar or diff file from
http://www.freshdevonrails.com . Let me know if you find any problems.
Also the port has been updated due to the changes of gnome 2.16, The
whole X11BASE to LOCALBASE thing. Note that this port is a replacement
for the existing java/eclipse port, it is no longer its own port.
