True, and to that inquiry I wondered why you would want to -- Eclipse is 
a mix of Java and native code (for performance where needed).  I would 
be concerned that compiling the remaining Java would be more work and 
cause more problems than it is worth.  Maybe of technical interest if 
you are an Eclipse developer but _I_ just want to use the facilities it 
provides to develop my own (Web) applications.

I was also responding to his inquiry about how it runs native ..
