Well, now that I recall I had a similar issue with the Android SDK under Linux, and it's related to your problem because OO uses gjc (the GNU Java implementation) as a pre-requisite and Eclipse was using _that_ instead of the Sun jdk I had installed. Well the issue is that Eclipse _took FOREVER_ to start, much like what you are describiong right now with OO (albeit I use FBSD with OO in older hw w/ no problems). Anyway, chack to see if you may have a broken Java implementation, and check to see if it's possible to get OO to work with Sun's JRE 6, and give that a go and see. I have a gut feeling your problem is related to a broken Java VM somewhere in your machine. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
