Hi everyone,

I'm at last ready to have some public testing of the 3.5.0-I20090611-1540 port of Eclipse (aka Galileo). The x86 platform has been
the least tested (actually, not at all this time  ;)  so I'd appreciate to have feedback for this one. I've also only done testing
with the native jdk1.6.0 from ports (java/jdk16) so please indicate which jdk you're using if you send me a go/no-go.

Highlights:
- - First FreeBSD Galileo release
- - The build is now using eclipse-build from the "Linux Tools" project
- - Patches are now much more simple and have been split into two parts for easier push upstream (one against eclipse-build and the
other for eclipse itself)
- - The only Gecko provider supported is now libxul
- - The gnome dependencies are now static and no longer configurable via options (there might be one or two that are no longer
necessary but I haven't gotten around yet to check which one)
- - Eclipse installs in ${PREFIX}/lib/eclipse instead of ${PREFIX}/eclipse to reduce pollution in ${PREFIX}
- - New dropins directory is in ${PREFIX}/share/eclipse/dropins. This directory can be used for features/plugins that are not
installed via the p2 provisioning engine. All the ports that are not changed to use p2 will have to use this directory in the future
(this will be done in a separate patch).
- - The setup-user step is no longer necessary. p2 has been fixed upstream and the user installed plugins are discovered correctly
even after a re-installation of eclipse.

The patch can be found at the following address:

Have fun!

Steph
