I've actually already submitted an update for the eclipse-devel port to 3.1m7, somebody just needs to grab it: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=81076 I discussed adding FreeBSD as a supported platform with one of the Eclipse developers, but I'm not sure how feasible this is. The problem is that somebody still has to maintain the config files within the Eclipse tree, which isn't going to happen unless a FreeBSD developer has commit priviledges. I agree that porting Eclipse is a huge challenge right now, I'm just not sure how it the overall amount of work for everybody involved can be reduced. Alex.
