Hi,<br><br>I have been trying to using OpenJDK BSD to run Eclipse and Netbeans.&nbsp; I have been successful in both, but it was not very useful as I there was no way to actually run my code from within the IDEs.&nbsp; There is an issue with OpenJDK for BSD being unable to start a process.&nbsp; After many compiles and narrowing the problem down to the closeDescriptors I was able to find this posting that explains why it doesn&#39;t work and some history to it.&nbsp; Most importantly, it also has the fix.<br>
