>Description:
If you install eclipse from packages, the resulting `eclipse-devel` binary doesn't work.  You receive two error messages in two different places.

The first one comes up in a gui prompt:

JVM terminated. Exit code=1
/usr/local/bin/java
-Xms40m
-Xmx256m
-jar /usr/local/eclipse-devel/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.1.R33x_v20070828.jar
-os freebsd
-ws gtk
-arch amd64
-showsplash
-launcher /usr/local/eclipse-devel/eclipse
-name Eclipse
--launcher.library /usr/local/eclipse-devel/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.gtk.freebsd.amd64_1.0.1.R33x_v20070828/eclipse_1020.so
-startup /usr/local/eclipse-devel/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.1.R33x_v20070828.jar
-exitdata 50017
-vm /usr/local/bin/java
-vmargs
-Xms40m
-Xmx256m
-jar /usr/local/eclipse-devel/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.1.R33x_v20070828.jar 

The second is found when you attempt to launch eclipse-devel from a terminal:

[saltmiser at frylock /usr/lib]$ eclipse-devel
/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /usr/local/eclipse-devel/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/bundles/109/1/.cp/libswt-mozilla-gtk-3346.so: Undefined symbol "NS_StringContainerInit2"
[saltmiser at frylock /usr/lib]$ 

Output of `java -version`
java version "1.5.0"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build diablo-1.5.0-b01)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build diablo-1.5.0_07-b01, mixed mode)

This problem, I believe, is also similar to the following PR, but that PR deals with 7.0-CURRENT.

>How-To-Repeat:
Install eclipse on 6.3-RC1/amd64 from packages, then try to run the resulting `eclipse-devel` binary.
>Fix:
Some googling picks up the following links that might help; I think the problem lies in how eclipse is built to use mozilla/gecko libraries.
