Hey,

You could/should just build the newest port in the portstree, so cvsup 
it, here quick what you should do if that isn't set up yet:

pkg_add -r cvsup-without-gui

make a cvsup file with your favourite text editor, it should look like 
this ( choose a mirror which is close to you, for me that is in the 
Netherlands ) :

        *default tag=.
        *default host=cvsup2.nl.freebsd.org
        *default prefix=/usr
        *default base=/var/db
        *default release=cvs delete use-rel-suffix compress

        ports-all release=cvs


cvsup -L 2 -g /path/to/cvsupfile

after it is finished:

cd /usr/ports/java/eclipse && make install distclean


That's all

good luck
