the '-data' switch on the command line.
If you tell eclipse to store data in a directory located on an NFS share,
it is possible that eclipse will fail with an error message that it could
not aquire a lock. Apparently there are some issues with the way NFS is
done among Unix servers and Linux hosts. Make sure that lockd and statd
are running on both the client and the server.
If this does not work at all, then you can disable the use of a lock file
by starting eclipse using 'eclipse -vmargs -Dosgi.locking=none'.
and feel, but apparently no cumulative list of changes is available.
Please compare to www.eclipse.org.

Release 2.1.2 is a maintenance release to fix serious defects present in
release 2.1.0 and 2.1.1. These changes only affect some plug-ins and features.
Modified plug-ins have version id "2.1.2"; plug-ins unchanged since the 2.1
release still have version id "2.1.0"; plug-ins unchanged since the 2.1.1
release still have version id "2.1.1". Note, however, that all features now
have version id "2.1.2" (even if none of their plug-ins changed).

Eclipse is an open source software development project dedicated to providing
a robust, full-featured, commercial-quality, industry platform for the
development of highly integrated tools. It is composed of three projects, the
Eclipse Project, the Eclipse Tools Project and the EclipseTechnology Project,
each of which is overseen by a Project Management Committee (PMC) and governed
by its Project Charter. Each project is composed of its own subprojects and is
licensed under the CPL version 1.0.
This package is a bit interesting in that it's a java application, which can
be built on NetBSD using one of the sun-jdk's, but then gives runtime errors.
However, installing the application built on a Linux machine under
NetBSD will work just fine. Seems to work only with sun-jdk13. Thus I placed
a build of eclipse from Linux in ftp, from where it can be installed using
this package.
