Just noticing this thread now...

Yes, I just packaged eclipse.  It's a bit of a weird package.  I had no
trouble building it from sources, but it would not run under NetBSD.
However, if built on Linux, the resulting package will run just fine
under NetBSD.

Also, regardless of whether or not I was using it on Linux or NetBSD, I
was only able to build linux-motif and only with JDK1.3.

If you want to use eclipse under NetBSD, update your pkgsrc tree and
then install it from devel/eclipse.  It will download the files that I
built on a Linux machine and install them, and you should be good to go.

If you find problems (or even better, solutions!), please send-pr them
(if you like, you can set the responsible person to jschauma).
