Greg (glewis@) already suggested to create a new *virtual* category for Eclipse ports to ease the search of a port. That could do the trick... Or else you may just use FreshPorts.org facilities to look for an Eclipse plugin: http://www.freshports.org/search.php?stype=name&method=match&query=eclipse&num=100&orderby=category&orderbyupdown=asc&search=Search Again, I don't think we should make an exception of Eclipse. All other ports comply to the convention and for instance there is no 'apache' non-virtual category. Regarding Apache, we are speaking of at least 116 'mod_*' ports while there are only 24 eclipse ports. Moreover, 'apache' is not even a virtual category. But that's probably because all 'mod_*' ports are in the same 'www' non-virtual category. So my take is that either we group all Eclipse ports into the same non-virtual category (but not a new 'eclipse' category which makes no sense) or we scater them but tag them by having them all in the 'eclipse' virtual category.
