Hi Kurt, I'm forced to use eclipse for a project at uni, and I was very happy and grateful when discovering the OpenBSD port for it in the tree, so that installing the thing was not a PITA.
Anyway, the .desktop file provided with the eclipse port seems to have a small error. When I used the menu entry to start eclipse, it complained about the JDK being missing. Starting eclipse from the command line worked though. The eclipse port installs a wrapper script in /usr/local/bin/eclipse, which sets up the proper path to the java VM prior to launching the IDE itself which is installed as /usr/local/eclipse/eclipse. The .desktop file does not point to the wrapper script, but points directly to /usr/local/eclipse/eclipse. Making the .desktop file use the wrapper script fixed the issue for me: Index: eclipse.desktop =================================================================== RCS file: /usr/OpenBSD-CVS/ports/devel/eclipse/sdk/files/eclipse.desktop,v retrieving revision 1.1 diff -u -r1.1 eclipse.desktop --- eclipse.desktop 25 Jan 2008 20:17:26 -0000 1.1 +++ eclipse.desktop 27 Feb 2008 18:56:45 -0000 @@ -4,6 +4,6 @@ Name=Eclipse GenericName=Eclipse, an IDE for all reasons Icon=%%PREFIX%%/eclipse/icon.xpm -Exec=%%PREFIX%%/eclipse/eclipse +Exec=%%PREFIX%%/bin/eclipse Terminal=false Categories=Development; -- stefan http://stsp.name PGP Key: 0xF59D25F0
