I chose the eclipse-devel port after the jdk16, and then added a UML editor (this, not a port) called "Violet" because it both had the ability to let me draw enough EML to get my idea across, and has a zero-sized learning curve (good for someone starting out). I hit a problem, and it seems that there aren't ANY user-level mailing lists for eclipse, so in desperation, although i really don't think it's a FreeBSD-connected problem, I'm going to set the problem out here. Either an answer directly to the problem, OR a pointer to a place a user can ask questions for eclipse, would really help me. OK. To begin with, Violet works fine from the java (from our jdk16 port), starting it like "java -jar jarname", it only demonstrates the inverted text problem if I start it inside eclipse. Starting a Java prject directly, and editing a class, the text direction on the editor is just fine (left to right), but if I do anything in Violet inside of Eclipse, the text direction is backwards. I was told on the eclipse IRC channel about the "dir" thing, which can be ltr or rtl, but I can't see how to apply that knowledge. Trying to ask really hard questions like this on a IRC channel, it's a losing game, which is why i was so disappointed when I found no eclipse user mailing lists. My guess is, Violet is fine. I have a Gentoo Linux box on the AMD64 chassis or mine, and it runs eclipse/Violet perfectly, so i suspect it's something dealing wtih eclipse, but I'm NOT accusing our port, I really haven't enough info to do that. Sure appreciate any help. This kind of question is not exactly off-topic, but too close for comfort, for me, if I found an alternative, I'd use it. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkkfBXkACgkQz62J6PPcoOlomACbBE6FZERVXO/9urDZa8+tdxeO gUMAn38Lq5fyDz2ViriyrFjsP61KU81a =H/mE -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
