It seems like I have the following choices 1. Install eclipse-sdk from the main tree. I worry since it is masked. 2. Install a source build from the seden overlay. Garcia recommends eclim to permit editing with emacs or vim and hasn't mentioned if it works with the seden overlay source. He says it doesn't work with the in tree source. 3. Install a binary build from the java overlay. Garcia believes this is compatible with eclim. 4. Install a binary build from eclipse.org. This gives the latest version. allan
