Agreed, I've been using M4 and the integration builds and they're working quite well for me, I don't really see any big issues with eclipse itself coming up that late in the game though libgcj4/gij4 is still a bit of a wild card, hopefully nothing big will pop up in testing. In functionality for Linux particularly I think 3.1 is a big step forward with the permission bits and file permissions issues sorted out along with GTK file chooser now being used. As well I personally find developing upstream eclipse plugins is definitely easier with 3.1 given the number of changes that occur in the code between releases. If we have to go with 3.0 it's not a disaster by any means but given the choice I definitely would prefer 3.1. btw. I ran the rpms quickly and they worked great, awesome work! Aaron
