Eclipse 3.1 can currently be found in the ports tree as eclipse-devel ( it has to be patched from 3.1M7 --> 3.1 if it hasn't changed ). Therefor I don't see the need of seperate eclipse-plugins in the portstree. What would be nice was a complete list of plugins available for eclipse, but that is more for the Eclipse.org site to be added, not FreeBSD specific. About the mailinglist. I'm currently following the java lists for about half a year now and I can't realy say my mailbox is flooding with e-mails from it. So I think it would'nt benefit anyone creating a seperate mailinglist for eclipse. -Frank Staals
