I'm very interested in that happening, but I have no time to pursue it. The bulk of my time is devoted to keeping the port of OpenJDK 7 (the OpenJDK hosted port that is, not java/openjdk7) up to date. FWIW, I expect this would require a more effort than the periodic Eclipse updates we do now, but that effort would be more spread out. -- Greg Lewis Email : glewis@eyesbeyond.com Eyes Beyond Web : http://www.eyesbeyond.com Information Technology FreeBSD : glewis@FreeBSD.org
