Funny you should mention X11 forwarding, because that's what I'm trying to = get going. I setup Cygwin on Windows and run the Cygwin X server. I'm using= "ssh -X " to start a console, and then I launch eclipse = in FreeBSD "eclipse &". This would be ideal for me because I do not have sp= ace for a full desktop on my FreeBSD server, yet I'm required to run the ID= E locally with the application in order to work around the thread problems = with gdbserver.

You may get some advice on freebsd-eclipse@ or freebsd-java@ but the eclips= e 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 ecl= ipsing. Moved the whole project to the VM a run "ssh -X virtlnx eclipse" instead of plain "eclipse". Performance was OK, the only drawback was manag= ing 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 pr= efer 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 B= SDs and FreeBSD's ports are often too delayed. To be fair to our porters, i= t 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 t= hat my eclipsing is just a minor part of my work and I don't need special p= lugins like CDT. BR, Oli
