Currently Eclipse.org only supports Linux/GTK3 Unix-wise.

For FreeBSD there is a port

https://www.freshports.org/java/eclipse/

which always needs to be updated with new Eclipse releases (and is currently some versions behind). Maintainers of other platforms like Raspberry Pi have the same problem.

I assume Eclipse won't add FreeBSD to its supported platforms.

But what if Eclipse would abstract Linux to Unix?

This would sometimes mean to change strings from "linux" to "unix" and to restrict all platform dependencies (within Unix) to the SWT native library.

See

https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/tree/java/eclipse/files

https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/tree/java/eclipse/files/patch-eclipse.platform.runtime

Thanks,
Juergen

Last year we added support for linux aarch64 on request from Raspberry Pi.

We can explore options. Please raise a bug here https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?product=Platform with subcomponent as PMC for discussion with project management committee.
