There's a lot of improvements bundled with the update in the way that the eclipse platform is built on FreeBSD. - - We are now installing a real eclipse product. - - Only the jar files for the platform are built, dramatically reducing the time necessary to build (thanks to the Fedora devs for the idea and the basic procedure). - - Lot of small fixes to the build procedure to make future imports easier - - Some of the bundles are pre-extracted during install to improve launching time. - - jdk1.6 is required to build but any jre (1.5 or 1.6) can be used in Preferences->Java->Installed JREs. Java 1.4 is unfortunately not supported at this time. - - Switch to x86_64 architecture name instead of amd64 to be more in-line with mainline eclipse. The bad news is that after this update, all the plugins installed as a user with the Update Manager will have to be reinstalled. The location of the eclipse metadata has moved to be more in-line with what's used on other OSes (like linux). Future updates to 3.4.x should not require reinstalling plugins, simply running the 'setup-user' target should be sufficient. If I get enough positive feedback, I'll ask that it get committed after the freeze for 7.2 is over.
