> 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...

Well, what happens if you try to run the freshly build Eclipse?

BTW: what do you mean by "instead of creating a linux binary"? Why would it build a Linux binary on your (unassumingly) FreeBSD machine?
