Yes, if you want to be able to build it manually you will have to. 
Therefor it's better to use the port system. For eclipse there are about 
20 files that required changing for 3.2.1 so it's probably about the 
same for 3.2.2 ( See /usr/ports/java/eclipse/files and 
/usr/ports/java/eclipse/scripts for details ) So your best bet is to 
wait until the port has been updated or what in this case is a better 
option is to wait for Rick to post the tarbal with the updated port here 
and use that ( which if all correct is going to be the new 'official' 
FreeBSD eclipse port when it is commited )

so in short: Wait until there is a eclipse 3.2.2 port.
