On FreeBSD, you don't need to download things manually via a web browser in this old fashioned way. :-) Have a look at FreeBSD's ports collection. You'll find java/eclipse as well as many additions to this IDE. You can of course use the pkg_add -r command to install them, or your favourite port management program (portmaster, portinstall etc.), or use the "plain" method of "make install". There are different versions of Java availabe on FreeBSD. You can choose between Sun's JDK and the Diablo JDK, and there are some others. Sadly, I can't provide much more information because I have up using Java and Eclipse many years ago. :-( -- Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... _______________________________________________ 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"
