Solved Can't find java/eclipse in packages.

What version of FreeBSD are you using? I just checked my ports collection and it's still there alright (note: this has 0 meaning for the package repository!) so I'm wondering if your version could be related.

When in doubt we can always check Freshports.

(edit)

I did some digging (<= Java fan here) and I discovered this: they somewhat recently went from 4.34 to 4.35 so it's definitely still active / relevant. But I did notice this: ONLY_FOR_ARCHS. If you're still on i386 (nothing wrong with that!) then that could also be a reason for this.

There is no Eclipse package for amd64 in 14.x, see java/eclipse

That's interesting, because the port itself specifically mentions "ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= aarch64 amd64" which makes me assume that this should also reflect on the package. Also note that the page you linked only mentioned the build process.

Even so....

hishnik : You can always build the port manually, from what I can tell that should have no ill issues (for now), but you may need to keep it in mind during future updates.

I did, but inattentively. Didn't notice packages-OSVersion support matrix.

I'm on amd64, so it should be fine.
Don't know why the package is absent :(
