--- Comment #5 from Jimmy Kelley <ljboiler@gmail.com> ---
OpenJDK 8 is required to build this port and the Makefile indicates this with
the JAVA_VERSION, but, as is with most versions of Eclipse, it will run on an
older version of the JRE.  Let me throw out this idea:  why not allow the port
be packaged without ANY Java runtime dependency defined, and let the end user
pick and install the one they want to run with (and note this with a
pkg-message).

As to all the eclipse plugin ports, I will go through all of them and make
recommendations as to which ones could be deleted because the appropriate
versions are easily installed by using the built-in update manager, and note
which ones will probably need to be updated because the version(s) of Eclipse
they are documented to support.
