Greg, I'm runnning the port labelled "jkd16", and with that as a base, I've been running eclipse with great success, but I know I'm going to *have* to upgrade sometime. Could you please tell me what's the relationship between the jdk16 port and openjdk? I mean, is one of those in a somewhat parental relationship with the other? Are they related? Will my experience with jdk16 have a good chance of being just as good with openjdk6? I hope I'm not stupid enough to ask you to "guarantee" that, but with everything else being equal, are my chances good of this?home | help
