Does licensing BS still require out-of-band agreement to EULAs on the Sun
website in 7.x, or has that finally changed for the better?

My advice is to install the following ports in the following order:  

java/jdk16
java/eclipse-devel

eclipse-devel worked much better for me than did java/eclipse.  I also had 
trouble without getting jdk16 installed first.  It's been a while now, so I'm 
not exactly sure what all, but I think if you install those ports in that 
order, Eclipse will work for you.  You may also want to make a symlink from 
/usr/local/eclipse to /usr/local/eclipse-devel - this allows the Eclipse plugin 
ports to install properly.  Without it, they will not.  I've got several (Perl, 
Ruby, and a couple of others) installed from ports against eclipse-devel and 
they work fine once that symlink is in place.

Java and FreeBSD

[Spiros Papadopoulos]

Hi,

It is now more than eight months that i am not able to use FreeBSD. FreeBSD

version 6.1 was the last.

Back then trying to work with Eclipse and java on FreeBSD was quite tricky.

Can anyone please tell me what the current status is? For example can i use

ports to install everything and start working with Eclipse straight away...?
Or

is Linux a better option?

What versions of FreeBSD and Eclipse would you recommend? Please feel free

to provide with as much information as you want.

Thanks in advance
Spiros P.
