Sorry, but I need 1.4.1 to run a freenet node.
I didn't know you need java to compile OOo. Thought
it was written in C++.

Sure would like to see a newer build, but remember I
like programming in java, not PPC assembly. yikes.

Whew, building eclipse is easier said than done. Mind
giving detailed instructions for building eclipse from
source in this way. I worked on it for sometime, but
with no success. Frustrated, I went to jedit, which
is a beautiful app, but no java debugger. Still
curious though about building eclipse again.
Thanks for your help, once again,
William
