Therefor it's better to use the port system. For eclipse there are about 20 files that required changing for 3.2.1 so it's probably about the same for 3.2.2 ( See /usr/ports/java/eclipse/files and /usr/ports/java/eclipse/scripts for details ) So your best bet is to wait until the port has been updated or what in this case is a better option is to wait for Rick to post the tarbal with the updated port here and use that ( which if all correct is going to be the new 'official' FreeBSD eclipse port when it is commited ) so in short: Wait until there is a eclipse 3.2.2 port. -- -Frank Staals
