On Sunday 05 June 2005 09:22, the author bugzilla-daemon@eclipse.org contributed to the dialogue on- eclipse Bugzilla 98443 Help File System broken: [Bug 98443] Help file does not function From: bugzilla-daemon@eclipse.org To: vizion@vizion.occoxmail.com https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=98443 ------- Additional Comments From dejan@ca.ibm.com 2005-06-05 13:47 ------- FreeBSD is not the supported OS for Eclipse 3.1. 1 The broken help file bug applies not to just FreeBSD OS but to other OS's. Itm seems to be a bug that may have repercussion for any OS. 2. This is meant to be a Java source tree the whole virtue of that is that the project should be free of operating system constraints. 3. eclipse is now, according to my understanding, an open source project and as such there are no rules such as "FreeBSD is not the supported OS" for an open source project. It is either open source - in which case the open source community includes all OS's or not. Just because ibm donated the eclipse code to the open source, does not in my view, mean that the concerns of other OS users can be ethically abandoned. 4. I can ubnderstand someone saying "I have no personal experience with FreeBSD" but the debug information includes java event details which are certainly platform independent. 5. Cazn you therefore please comment on what the java event details tell you and if there arre some operating system implications then the freebsd ports maintainers can look at that side of the issue. 6. Can we please have some fun and co-operation within the open source community from which we all benefit and to which we all contribute. Thanks David -- 40 yrs navigating and computing in blue waters.
