A bit late perhaps, but I (and several colleagues) use Eclipse on Gentoo |
| 11 |
every day at work. |

We have all found the best solution is to download from the website and |
| 13 |
unpack it. The version in portage is very old (the 3.2 milestones are |
| 14 |
stable enough for everyday use) and its easier to manage and install |
| 15 |
plugins. |

Eclipse is great once you've used it a little (even with our bizarre |
| 18 |
homebrew build systems at work) and its windowing toolkit looks far |
| 19 |
better than AWT or Swing. |
