I've got the 3.2.2 sources and am following the build instructions detailed
here:

http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.2.2-200702121330/srcIncludedBuildInstructions.html

The main build command is listed to be

build -os <osType> -ws <windowSystemType> -arch <architecture> -java5home
<java 5 installation> [-bc <bootclasspath>] [-compilelibs] [-target
<target>]

However, FreeBSD isn't listed as one of the supported osTypes. I decided to
use Linux and the build ran for a while, but eventually it failed with
various Java language errors.

I'm not sure where to go from here. I have JDK 1.4 and JDK 1.5 both build
and running, so do these errors mean I actually have to tweak Eclipse source
code to get it to build under FreeBSD?
