Yes, but you have been arguing for /usr/ports/eclipse and /usr/ports/eclipse/plugins which are both major changes to ports framework whereas php5-extensions is just a port as any other in the *existing* framework. And I remember suggesting something similar with a plugin support using MASTERDIR months ago. Anyway, if this is just a matter of having the same as lang/php5-extensions, I fully agree with the approach. Moreover, I am glad to see that we have come to agree on some point (although I don't know yet if people from freebsd-eclipse@ will effectively chose that particular approach). Now regarding the new non-virtual category, I think this goes beyond the scope of the freebsd-java@ team so I'll let others (freebsd-ports@ and probably portmgr@) deal with this new issue. FWIW, I remember some earlier discussion regarding the creation of a new category (IIRC it was about splitting 'net' into 'net-p2p' and such) where hundreds of ports were concerned and the discussion not only took a long time but as you can see these new categories never hit the ports tree. So I guess you'll have to be patient and explain your point in a much humble fashion than what you did for this eclipse plugin framework discussion. Herve
