I've already posted this in the Eclipse newsgroups, but I don't receive
any answers there. I'm trying to build Eclipse 3.2.2 (on Slackware
11.0) but receive numerous errors. These are the first:

1. ERROR in
/usr/pkgsrc/devel/eclipse/work/plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime.compatibility.registry/src/org/eclipse/core/internal/registry/ExtensionHandle.java
[javac] (at line 13)

I'm just using the provided ant file.

Why don't you use a pre-fab distribution like those on www.yoxos.com
You can select pretty much any configuration you want,and even customize
your own.

That's indeed a solution to be able to use Eclipse. But that does not
learn me why I get this error.

I never built Eclipse myself either. You might have more luck on one of
the eclipse newsgroups: www.eclipse.org/newsgroups, I’d start out on
eclipse.platform.

I already asked there (expecting a quick solution), but I didn't get any
replies there.

Thanks for having the courtesy to mention that.

I am no expert on eclipse, but a quick search started
showing pages like this.
<http://archive.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/
R-3.0.2-200503110845/buildnotes/buildnotes_core-expressions.html>
That suggest to me that the class in question was
only part of the eclipse project for a very short
time, in version 3.

Can you get later source/build file?

Sounds plausible.

3.2.2 is the latest version on the Eclipse site.

Huhh.. I presumed that page meant eclipse was at
version 4+, so maybe I misinterpreted it.

I will have to cede to the better knowledge
of the eclipse gurus*. Sorry.
