Hi, everyone. I just installed FreeBSD on an new laptop I bought, which I will be using for note-taking and programming at university. One piece of software I am somewhat dependent on for said programming is java/eclipse. However, upon starting it up, it crashes instantly and dumps a log:

Code:

Can anyone help? Or will I have to use a text editor and javac(1) for the rest of my course?
 
hi mate

looking at your error

Code: 
no swt-gtk in java.library.path

just wondering if you are missing this package

Code: 
swt-4.21_2                     Standard Widget Toolkit for Java

Code: 
sudo pkg install swt-4.21_2
 
Ah, I think I've found the problem. x11-toolkits/swt is unmaintained, so the files are from an older release of Eclipse. I'll see if I can maybe compile from source or install Eclipse 4.21 or something.
