Eclipse needs *some* sort of gecko provider for doing things like popping up the Javadoc when you hover over a function name in a Java file, and crashes without a working gecko part, as I found out playing around with the eclipse-devel port a while ago. Freebsd only supports libxul as a gecko provider, not Mozilla or FireFox like Linux does. As for the eclipse versioning, you will find many Freebsd ports where the Freebsd ported "main" version is lagging behind what's available for other systems. The "-devel" port that you might find for some software packages is a un-stable port of a newer release that is being worked on to get the porting bugs worked out. Feel free to build and run those (at your own risk, of course) and report any problems. Jimmy
