Hi Panagiotis, Firstly I must thank you for all the work you did getting FreeBSD to compile Eclipse, even with all the plugins I have installed and using it every day I have never had Eclipse 3.1 lock up on me. :-) Sorry I missed your patch that must of been in the month or so before I subscribed to the Eclipse list. Now Eclipse was back to normal for me I thought I should have a look at the new gnome/gtk versions and it looks like the actual gtk libraries now seem to end in so.0 so when the gnome 2.12 gets imported into the ports tree (after the FreeBSD 6 release) it should not cause any problems to drop the patch again :-) Thanks, Mark
