Hey,

As I replied before here on freebsd-java at FreeBSD.org on such thread, I 
don't see why we should create a seperate 'category' with 
eclipse-plugins since the 'find updates' function in Eclipse 3.1 does 
everything for you. Eclipse 3.1 can currently be found in the ports tree 
as eclipse-devel ( it has to be patched from 3.1M7 --> 3.1 if it hasn't 
changed ). Therefor I don't see the need of seperate eclipse-plugins in 
the portstree. What would be nice was a complete list of plugins 
available for eclipse, but that is more for the Eclipse.org site to be 
added, not FreeBSD specific.

About the mailinglist. I'm currently following the java lists for about 
half a year now and I can't realy say my mailbox is flooding with 
e-mails from it. So I think it would'nt benefit anyone creating a 
seperate mailinglist for eclipse.
