Please use the enter key occasionally :)

There is a precompiled package of Eclipse 3.2.1 on the FreeBSD ftp servers.
Pick a mirror and go looking in /pub/FreeBSD/ports/packages/java/

Note that updating and/or downloading a fresh copy of the ports tree
and building from source, which is what the original respondant suggested,
is also a valid way.  The port can be found in /usr/ports/java/eclipse
and all you need to do is go to that directory and type
"make clean all install" or use portupgrade or portinstall or something.

Check the FreeBSD handbook for more information on how to use the ports
collection.
