Really? Does it work for you? Fresh system (portupgrade -a), native, 
fresh eclipse 3.2:

    * jsp editor does not work (error while processing dirty regions...)
    * eclipse crashes while creating dynamic web project

I had to downgrade to eclipse 3.1 for jsp editor to work.

As a matter of fact, I'm considering switching back to linux (after 
three great years with freebsd). I'm focusing more and more on java at 
work, unfortunately java quality on freebsd is still very poor.
