Okay, I've fixed the plist ... I wanted to make it dynamic, but I had 
trouble building the list of directories automatically.  I'm assuming 
that other Eclipse plugins will be installed in the same directory, so I 
can't just walk the directory after installing.  Right now I've got a 
hidden makefile target that will generate the pkg-plist file based on 
the assumption that there are no plugins installed.  It can be run by 
the port maintainer after upgrading.

My latest version is here:

I know that there are still a few things wrong still.  I tried a Motif 
build on my i386 box yesterday, and it will compile, but crashes during 
startup.  I don't know what's going wrong there.  Also, the 
libswt-mozilla library is not getting compiled under gtk-amd64 right 
now, and I'm having trouble convincing the build to do what I want.

Once I get these issues resolved, I'll submit my port.

That is strange.  As you say, it sure does look like the getId() method 
is returning a String, so I don't know why it would claim otherwise. 
The whole build is complicated by the fact that Eclipse is using its own 
compiler to do a lot of the work, so this error message is probably not 
coming directly from javac.  Now that I think of it, though, have you 
tried compiling that same code with javac?  That might help narrow the 
problem down to either our compiler or theirs.
