Once something workable comes together, it will most likely be posted here before it hits ports. It is a bit puzzling how eclipse's builds to run across jdk versions... perhaps one of the guru's will come up with something genius, but it's beyond me. ;-) instructions.html makes it seem like an elementary process to build with 1.5, but I think it might be a bit outdated as there are a few other areas which require patches for it to work. Keep an eye on the list for progress. :-D Cheers, Mike.
