I agree that we don't need a repo copy, but I would like to go one step 
further; we don't need two different versions of eclipse in the ports tree.

There are about two dozen ports that rely on eclipse. Most of them can 
probably easily be upgraded to work with eclispe-3.2. I'd prefer updating 
the ports, and updating eclipse to 3.2.

What do you think?
