Has anyone had a dabble in building the 3.4 branch yet? I may have a look-and-see this afternoon. If someone else already has progress, it'd be swell not to duplicate it. ;-) In a similar topic... what will / would we do with 3.4 when / if it becomes suitable for the ports tree? Replace the current eclipse-devel with it or are we looking to maintain multiple -devel versions? (Etc etc) Best from balmy So-cal, Mike. -- "You don't see FreeBSD developers sitting in a smoke-filled room plotting the overthrow of Microsoft.

Does it run on jdk16 or on jdk15/16? And 3.4 would better replace current 3.3.2 eclipse-devel if it does not cause much problems to 3.3.2 users. It is because that eclipse depends on mozilla/seamonkey, etc. And 3.3.2 maintenance may need some retroactive works with those which may not be so productive as -devel port. If we need 3.3.2, I think that it needs to be maintained apart from -devel port.

It is because that eclipse depends on mozilla/seamonkey, etc. And 3.3.2 maintenance may need some retroactive works with those which may not be so productive as -devel port. If we need 3.3.2, I think that it needs to be maintained apart from -devel port. Quick update... I've migrated about 80% of the previous patches to the release build, but haven't got so far as to actually compile anything yet. I'd hoped to get something at least test-worthy by the time ganymede drops (tomorrow) but clearly I've left it too late. At this point I should be able to finish the existing patches tomorrow afternoon, then focus on seeing what other changes it will need in order to build. The build instruction don't look to have changed since early in 3.x, so they still cite jdk1[4|5|6], but based on Ken's work on 3.2 and 3.3, I'm currently assuming jdk1[5|6] is required. It would seem that I'm unable to make a post without bringing up old issues... and this time is no exception. 1) Upstream commits. *So* much of this patching is just adding simple FreeBSD references into all the build.xml files... it sure would be nice if we could *at least* get the build tags pushed upstream. Failing that, we're just going to keep burning man-hours patching or maintaining scripts to do the job. Per the build notes, there are a number of "Unsupported Platforms" included in the build system... right now, that would put FreeBSD ports way ahead of where it is now. Does anyone know of someone on the Eclipse team that might be able to lend a hand? I think Dan mentioned he might a while back... any leads on that? (I myself have a chap I'll get in touch with in the next few days.) 2) Port naming etc... I'm not sure that anyone really made a call on maintaining previous versions etc. I'm not sure that I see a problem with having a few versions in the tree, as long as it's made clear that the latest version is the only developed version... if someone has a special interest in a dated release, I'd imagine the community as a whole would benefit. How about bringing new releases into the tree with either their version number or release name? "java/eclipse-europa" or "java/eclipse34". If a pkg-message is included with older releases, at least people can choose. (Or if they're bound by a plugin or something.) With a bit of luck, I'll have something worth playing with in the next day or two. If luck isn't on my side, I'll have a tarball of recycled patches someone else can play with. ;-) Cheers, Mike. -- "You don't see FreeBSD developers sitting in a smoke-filled room plotting the overthrow of Microsoft.

Message-ID: <200806290436.45840.funkyrod@gmail.com> I can't get the Visual Editor to work properly on Eclipse with FreeBSD. I'm using 7.0-release, and Java-1.6: # uname -a FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE #22: Tue Apr 29 20:15:01 EST 2008 root@pcbsd:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 # java -version java version "1.6.0_03-p4" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_03-p4-root_19_mar_2008_17_02-b00) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.6.0_03-p4-root_19_mar_2008_17_02-b00, mixed mode) The problem is that although Swing works, SWT doesn't. With any SWT windows (e.g. Shell) within the visual editor, only an empty wireframe appears together with a small lightbulb. If I hover the mouse over the lightbulb the following error message appears: Get of the picture failed "org.eclipse.ve.internal.swt.targetvm.unix.ImageCapture.getPixels(IIII) [I" This message and lightbulb also appears in the lower margin of the eclipse application window. I've tried using the visual editor from ports with the Eclipse 3.2 from ports. I've also tried the Eclipse 3.3 and 3.4 unoffical VEP from the following website with Eclipse-devel (3.3.2) from ports: http://www.ehecht.com/eclipse_ve/ve.html The same error appears with each configuration. I understand that VEP is only "official" for Eclipse 3.2, but I have been able to use the version from above (and others referenced in the eclipse.org VEP wiki) on Eclipse Europa and Ganymede on other platforms (Win XP, Linux). Does anyone know how to make SWT windows appear correctly in VE windows on Eclipse - FreeBSD? I'd like to be able to stick to FreeBSD for visual GUI building, and not have to switch to Windows on Linux if possible just to get this functionality.
