Some of you might remember my desperate post from January 24th 2006 about eclipse crashing on startup. Well, at last, I found a fix - thanks to Panagiotis whose efforts were fundamental to overcome my ignorance. First I changed the JDK from 1.4.2 to 1.5.0. Then I applied the patch from Mikhail (Thank you for the patch, Mikhail. Saved my life!): http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-java/2005-October/004487.html Since I am not really experienced with patching, for all those feeling insecure what to do with the patch, I quote Panagiotis' instruction: "... apply Mikhail's patch as follows: - first add the two new lines in the jdk15 port's Makefile as suggested by the first hunk (EXTRACT_AFTER_ARGS plus the space before) - lump the rest of the patch (beneath the ---next part--- line) in a single file (named something like patch-syszlib and drop it in the jdk15/files directory - if you have checked out revision 3 of the port, remove files/patch-j2se::zlib-1.1.3::zconf.h Then build and install the new jdk15." Boy, that really made my day
