To whom it may concern, I have just recently attempted to install eclipse and am wondering why it requires so many out of date packages? jfc1.1.1 and jdk1.2 are no longer supported and actively maintained by Sun. I wish to develop using jdk1.4.2 and it appears that this requires the linux abstraction layer in order to do so? Can the eclipse build utilise linux-sun-jdk1.42 and not require the older java technologies? If possible, how would I go about altering the appropriate make files in order to do this? Furthermore what are the the drawbacks in using the linux emulation layer with regards to java? If there is a better IDE available in teh ports collection I would greatly appreciate any advice you have in that regard also. I am new to the FreeBSD and ports community and thank you for taking the time to read and reply to my email. thanks, Tim _________________________________________________________________ E-mail just got a whole lot better.
