I am a bit confused about the various native versions in the
FreeBSD ports tree.

Is there a technical difference between the diabolo port
and the jdk13? Or is it just blessed binary vs source build
but otherwise identical?

I want to work on a port of Eclipse-3.0-M5 for FreeBSD.
The requirement for this is a jdk 1.4
Can I use the native jdk14 without to fear serious problems
and concentrate on working on Eclipse?

Any Eclipse users under FreeBSD here?
