It's hard to compare different versions of both the JDK (diablo vs. sun) and Eclipse (3.1.2 vs. 3.2) and call it an OS-related issue. That said, Eclipse doesn't seem to be well maintained on FreeBSD. It is kind of annoying that Eclipse decided to hard-wire the OS into the build system, and, of course, they pretended that *BSD didn't exist. At the moment this list is dead and Eclipse is not being supported on FreeBSD. I assume that everyone has other priorities right now, but I'm hopeful that it will get picked up again. Considering that even my OpenBSD system has a 3.2 port on it, it's hard for me to justify spending more time learning about this codebase to finish updating the port when I could simply move to any other platform for it. I am curious, though, as to what happened to the original porter(s) and why they aren't even responding on the list anymore. psa
