As I compiled Eclipse with the 1.6 JDK anyway I did not do any of the other modifications and it worked for me. The reason for this is that I am working on a Eclipse RCP application that has to be Java 1.5 compatible (that particular application actually does not even compile cleanly with a 1.6 JDK but needs Eclipse 3.3 (and as I am not the only developer I can't fix that)). Seemingly the "official" pre-compiled versions from eclipse.org (for Linux or Windows) have a similar change applied as you can run them using a 1.5 JDK without any problems. So personally I would prefer to have this integrated into the port. Jonas
