I was able to successfully build Eclipse 3.8 M1 on ARM on Fedora 15.
Special thanks to Andrew Haley for all the fixes to the java compiler, and Xerxes Ranby who had built Eclipse on Debian for the helpful pointers.
The work involved ensuring that eclipse depedencies are built and available on my Fedora installation, creating arch specific Eclipse fragments for ARM based on the x86 fragments, a few tweaks here and there and lots of debugging of reading of ant scripts. The next step is to get the eclipse rpm building on ARM Koji.
