So, as long as FBSD is not "official" the Porter(s) will have the painful job to make changes over and over again, for each Milestone of each new Version :-( However, I have no Idea how to become an Official Eclipse Platform :-( Cheers, _ralf_ --=-/sjmiIEh2bFKnKWjFeul Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBCj1fRY2jmDrUy5RMRAk7jAJ9soVKj/s5kTs0UQnXir3gGW7dZvACdEk71 VyVWpiHCezDXeipdRXIBczE= =6vW9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-/sjmiIEh2bFKnKWjFeul--
