I couldn't google any doc related to how to correctly install eclipse and its plugins in freebsd. Just wondering if any java guy can share his thoughts here.
1. It seems eclipse plugins must be ported to freebsd ports, then you can install from the ports. Can I use below method?
a. manually install plugins - unzip the jars and extract them to pluging and features folder?
b. use the updated url. I tried this. for some plugins, it worked, for the others, it doesn't work and can not even find update from the url. Not sure why.
2. I really would like to know if there is way to use all latest plugins if they are not ported to freebsd tree, if there is and how to do it.
I am still trying various ways and will try linux eclipse or eclipse-devel(not sure the difference).
Thanks
