So, is anyone already working on a FreeBSD native version? Any
preliminary work that you could share?

I'm planning to do it eventually, if no one beats me to it (which I would really appreciate :-)). My usual strategy, is to copy eclipse over to eclipse-devel, modify the distfile and version stuff and keep the patch files. Then it is a boring sequence of make patch -> error -> redo the patch that failed. I believe some of our patches may no longer be necessary, like manualpatch-plugins-swt-gtk-os_custom.h and manualpatch-plugins-swt-cairo-library. After our current patches apply correctly, there is a new sequence of make -> error -> create new patches.

I hope that helps.

Cheers,

Panagiotis
