If you are using the Eclipse mac port at
http://eclipsedrops.ott.oti.com/downloads/master/downloads/drops/I-I20020917-200209171408/download.php?dropFile=eclipse-SDK-I20020917-macosx-carbon.zip
be aware that out of the box, Zip files are unzipped using Stuffit
Expander, which does not like some of the long filenames that the Eclipse
build uses. It ends up truncating them, which causes numerous problems.
(Mac is only just getting used to very long filenames..)
Furthermore, Mac users which use IE will find that the download manager
will (by default) automatically unzip downloads using this mechanism.
To properly unzip the port:
(Assuming you download to the desktop)
From a terminal window:
cd ~/desktop
unzip eclipse-SDK-I20020917-macosx-ca
Eclipse will appear in a directory on the desktop called 'eclipse'
