But that was a long time ago) You want the one called eclipse-sdk. The actual Eclipse product is just a shell that you can then plug in development environments -- the JDT (for Java) is the "default" but you can also install the CDT (for C/C++) or tons of others. If you want the latest release of Eclipse you'll have to download or build it yourself; the "Ganymeade" (3.5) in the ebuild works fine but it doesn't support some of the newer plug-ins built for "Helios" (3.6) or "Indigo" (3.7). But 3.6 introduced a *ton* of new dependencies that the Gentoo folks haven't been able to work out properly in portage.[1] Of course, that's also likely an indication that Eclipse is getting way to big for it's own good, especially if you don't want to do any Java development, so you may just want to pass :) --Mike [1] https://bugs.gentoo.org/325271?id=325271
