Yes ..That is the one the current port /usr/ports/java/eclipse-devel/ port
pulls.

Yep I am as I presume you saw from my emails. The weird thing is it looks to
me as though the files are not where eclipse expects them to be AND not all
the files may be being transfered to the /usr/local/eclipse tree. I do not
know because I am so new to eclipse I feel unable to make a valuable
contribution. I have posted your comments top the eclipse newcomers newsgroup

I hope you can get some input from the eclipse team

It looks to me as though the files get in the wrong directories but I cannot
find out how one controls where eclipse looks for the help files. Does it
have anything to do with the files having/not having a release suffix on the
files/fdirectory name?
