Never mind, thank for the info. Just out of curiosity, are you
struggling java or native sources?

Are there any well known instructions to port eclipse? I started
with the Makefile of the previous version but choked up early.
Then I tried a different approach: Take their Linux binary package
and "just" replace Linux binaries (as far I remember there are
only one or two there). I left that due to lack of time but I would
like to try that again (at least for my personal use). Does it
worth trying?
