Hi Matt, For future reference, the eclipse.platform newsgroup is the proper place to ask such questions. If you search that newsgroup for the term "Solaris" you'll find some interesting posts. I'm cross-posting my answer to the newsgroup and here:
If you want Solaris-Motif, just grab the eclipse-srcBuild-srcIncluded and build it yourself. It's much simpler than you'd think since it builds only the Java part (all natives are precompiled). Works even on Solaris 7 for me. If you want Solaris-GTK, it's officially supported on Solaris 10 only, which (I think) has GTK libraries preinstalled. Inofficially, it should also work on Solaris 9; for Solaris 9, you can get a GNOME package right from Sun (package SUNWGtkr), it's version 2.1.0 but works well for most people. Don't try the version from sunfreeware.com, it sucks as I've heard :-) If you're on Solaris 8, you'll be mostly on your own since I think you'd have to recompile GTK yourself which is pretty hard as I've heard. Some reference for Eclipse 3.3 on Solaris, also has some more information about GTK versions: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=186097 https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=177949 https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=172422 Cheers, -- Martin Oberhuber Wind River Systems, Inc.
