FreeBSD Port: eclipse2.1.1_2

[Remco van 't Veer]

Hi,

I've installed eclipse with jdk1.4.1 (the native version) and
it works fine.  First install 1.4 from /usr/ports/java/jdk14,
notice the warnings about used diskspace and, after some time
compiling, install eclipse from /usr/ports/java/eclipse.

I don't think it will compile with linux-sun-jdk1.4.2 because the
eclipse port builds some native libraries and the linux jdk can
probably not handle freebsd compiled libraries.  But if you
really need 1.4.2 insteadof 1.4.1 you might be able to configure
eclipse the use 1.4.2 for compilation and execution of you code
but you will still need the native 1.4.1 to run eclipse.

HTH,
Remco
