Hello :-)

I am still using eclipse as my development environment and try to figure
out how to make a new port.  Actually there is a 4.24 version in the
packages - it works, but...

So I already (months ago) tried to understand the port by Jonathan Chen
(jonc@chen.org.nz) - he did a good job :-)  But I did not understand his
details.  So I tried to "compile" an eclipse ide as described here:

https://wiki.eclipse.org/Platform-releng/Platform_Build

I installed maven3.9, openjdk17 and set

# setenv JAVA_HOME /usr/local/openjdk17

then I did:

# git clone -b master --recursivehttps://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.releng.aggregator.git  <https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.releng.aggregator.git>
# cd eclipse.platform.releng.aggregator
# mvn clean verify -DskipTests=true

and it finished with:

...
[INFO] [feature] Eclipse Product Configuration 1.1.2200-SNAPSHOT SUCCESS [  1.517 s]

everything compiled fine till the end...  I think this is a good step. 
But now the question - is this okay?  Do I have to change code instead
of creating a linux binary?  And how to integrate as a eclipse port? 
Sorry for the questions - maybe someone can give me help and I could
take over the eclipse portage...

Cheers and many greetings from Germany :-)  Norbert
