I had already searched the archives before I reported the problem, and
your patch only affects java/eclipse-devel, and not java/eclipse. The
code in java/eclipse doesn't appear to use realpath at all.

Looking over your patch, it looks like your fix will fix the crash I have
been experiencing with jdk15 + eclipse-devel combo as well. Maybe it's
time to move from java/eclipse to java/eclipse-devel... Have you had
much success in pushing the patch upstream? It may be an idea to put
this into the java/eclipse-devel port until the upstream source
decides to accept it.

Cheers.
