I've got the 3.2.2 sources and am following the build instructions detailed
here:
http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.2.2-200702121330/srcIncludedBuildInstructions.html
The main build command is listed to be
build -os <osType> -ws <windowSystemType> -arch <architecture> -java5home
<java 5 installation> [-bc <bootclasspath>] [-compilelibs] [-target
<target>]
However, FreeBSD isn't listed as one of the supported osTypes. I decided to
use Linux and the build ran for a while, but eventually it failed with
various Java language errors.
I'm not sure where to go from here. I have JDK 1.4 and JDK 1.5 both build
and running, so do these errors mean I actually have to tweak Eclipse source
code to get it to build under FreeBSD?
Yes, if you want to be able to build it manually you will have to.
Therefor it's better to use the port system. For eclipse there are about
20 files that required changing for 3.2.1 so it's probably about the
same for 3.2.2 ( See /usr/ports/java/eclipse/files and
/usr/ports/java/eclipse/scripts for details ) So your best bet is to
wait until the port has been updated or what in this case is a better
option is to wait for Rick to post the tarbal with the updated port here
and use that ( which if all correct is going to be the new 'official'
FreeBSD eclipse port when it is commited )
so in short: Wait until there is a eclipse 3.2.2 port.
