Hi!

I want to change my laptop system from Debian to FreeBSD. After installing
8.0
RC2 in a virtual machine i have tried to install eclipse and changed the
Java
version in the makefile to 1.5, but it still want to install the 1.6 jdk.

I need the 1.5 version for several reasons, for example VPN account.

How can i solve the problem? Is java 1.5 also available if i install it on
AMD64? On debian this is a Problem.

Thx

Alex

Does /usr/ports/java/jdk15 not work for you?

Can you not install both and tell eclipse to use the 15 jdk?

You can try editing /usr/ports/java/eclipse/Makefile to JAVA_VERSION= 1.5
but I have no idea if that will work.

I've been bitten by this as well. Of course eclipse works well with java versions
<1.6, as it does on all other platforms.

Such restrictions in the Makefiles (= instead of >=) are really a showstopper for
people who just want to get things done.
