I would like to see a complete upgrade. I do realize we need to upgrade all 
ports as well, or set them BROKEN. Problem is that many ports don't have a 
maintainer, or has the freebsd-eclipse mailing list as maintainer, which is 
basically the same thing. :(  Still, most plugins will probably be rather 
easy to upgrade, no? It should be a community effort, of course.
