All communication = for eclipse 3.2 has been taking place on the freebsd-java mailing list. = We should probably start using the freebsd-eclipse mailing list though. = As far as I can tell the original porter of eclipse 3.1.2 is currently = busy and welcomed someone else to use his port as a base to port eclipse = 3.2. I found on eclipse's site where he uploaded his patches to be = applied to the eclipse stream. I am not sure why they were not added = for the eclipse 3.2 release. When we are finished testing the eclipse = 3.2 port which is currently being worked on I will submit the patches to = eclipse and see if maybe it can be added to the next release of eclipse. = It looks like the CDT plugin for eclipse will need to be updated for = eclipse 3.2 and the EPIC plugin maintainer has mentioned that he will = update it when the 3.2 port has been tested a little longer. You can = find the current eclipse 3.2 port at = http://www.freshdevonrails.com/eclipse.shar and you can see the history = for it in the archives of the freebsd-java mailing list.
