You may get some advice on freebsd-eclipse@ or freebsd-java@ but the eclipse port is without a maintainer so chances are somewhat doubtful. I feel your pain. I was in a similar situation some time ago, waiting for a must-have upgrade of eclipse. In the meantime I just used a VirtualBox virtual machine with Linux for eclipsing. Moved the whole project to the VM a run "ssh -X virtlnx eclipse" instead of plain "eclipse". Performance was OK, the only drawback was managing project files from CLI: they weren't local, one had to remember to ssh to the VM. A side note: I've been a FreeBSD and Linux user for about 15 years and I prefer FreeBSD for most tasks. However, if my work was 99% about eclipsing I would use Linux for my workstation. Eclipse's development seems to ignore BSDs and FreeBSD's ports are often too delayed. To be fair to our porters, it isn't an easy work and I just admire their bravery. Some time ago I tried to update the eclipse port myself and failed. Monumentally :-) I'm happy that my eclipsing is just a minor part of my work and I don't need special plugins like CDT. BR, Oli
