Reason that this might make some difference to you is that, at least for me (using FreeBSD-current) the jdk16 port and eclipse, from ports, are absolutely rock stable.

I've been bitten by this as well. Of course eclipse works well with java versions <1.6, as it does on all other platforms. Such restrictions in the Makefiles (= instead of >=) are really a showstopper for people who just want to get things done.

Can you not install both and tell eclipse to use the 15 jdk? You can try editing /usr/ports/java/eclipse/Makefile to JAVA_VERSION= 1.5 but I have no idea if that will work. jdk15 does work on amd64 -- Adam Vande More ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
