Thanks, I really appreciate your efforts. Without them I would probably need
to boot into Windows (or install Linux) to use Eclipse.

What actually puzzles me a bit is the fact that although according to the
official build instructions JDK 1.6 is required (and the build.xml uses 1.6
as target version) the builds from eclipse.org run happily with Java 1.5
(or even on Java 1.4 according to
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/moreinfo/jre.php ).
So obviously the guys at eclipse.org seem to use their own modified build
process...

Anyway, thanks again for your work,
Jonas
