Unless there are other showstoppers, I would agree that its
about time to
move 3.3.1 from eclipse-devel to eclipse.  That will trigger
problems with
many of the plugins though, so there is more work here than
just moving
a single port over.  What we need is to get people to
volunteer to try and
build all plugins to check whether they fail (at least) and
then hopefully
update/fix them (or mark them broken if noone is interested
in fixing
them).

- current version = eclipse, previous version = eclipseXX,
and next version = eclipse-devel.

Implicit in this is that you'd need to maintain multiple
versions of some
of the plugins, so you're proposing more than 3 ports here. 
The question
this raises for me is whether there are enough people active
in ports who
are interested enough in Eclipse that they're prepared to
commit to this.
If there aren't I would suggest sticking with the current
model.
