That's exactly the point I was (and am) trying to argue against. I
have to resort to 'make search' to find emacs tools these days
because they've been thrown all over the ports system by well-meaning
but misguided contributors, and I'd hate to see that happen to
eclipse tools too.
As to devel vs. editors, eclipse is hardly a text editor. Emacs at
least started that way.
