Well, at least I'm not the only one who stepped into that Problem ;-) I just updated (csup and "portmaster -a") my Ports a few days ago (to get the latest kdepim). I'm just now running a csup and will run a portupgrade -a this evening. I also ran a portmaster --check-depends and pkg_libchk (and tried with JDK 1.6.0, OpenJDK 6, and OpenJDK 7). However, as there is no error in Eclipse's Error-Log it seems more like a config-Problem than a missing dependency to me (i.e. it seems as if Eclipse will install Plugins in ~/.eclipse when it cannot write to /usr/local/lib/eclipse/plugins but only looks for them in /usr/local... and not in ~/.eclipse. My Eclipse-Version is the same as yours; $ls -ld /var/db/pkg/*eclipse* drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 15 Sep 09:16 /var/db/pkg/eclipse-3.5.2_1 $ It's rather strange that the problem disappeared on your installation; I'll try the Update this evening and will try to investigate a bit deeper later... Thanks again! Cheers, _ralf_help
