One of the 3.3.0 port version we had built and ran quite happily with jdk1.5, but we've not seen the same success with 3.3.1 so far. I may have a poke at it this weekend and see what we can wrangle. For now the eclipse-devel port is tied to jdk1.6 and the upcoming 3.3.1 version will most likely be also, but we'll see what we can do to get 1.5 support in there in the near future. Thanks again for sharing the specific situation. Cheers, Mike.
