Java and FreeBSD

[Spiros Papadopoulos]

Hi,

It is now more than eight months that i am not able to use FreeBSD. FreeBSD

version 6.1 was the last.

Back then trying to work with Eclipse and java on FreeBSD was quite tricky.

Can anyone please tell me what the current status is? For example can i use

ports to install everything and start working with Eclipse straight away...?
Or

is Linux a better option?

What versions of FreeBSD and Eclipse would you recommend? Please feel free

to provide with as much information as you want.

Thanks in advance
Spiros P.
