Hey Stephane,

I'd personally prefer to see FreeBSD's Eclipse port as close to the 
Eclipse trunk as it can be... it would have a good deal of effort and 
time on future ports and even (as you're demonstrating) in plugins etc.

Long story short, I'd like to see x86_64 adopted for the port and future 
works.

Cheers,

Mike
