I am not sure what you mean. We supply the native Windows binaries with
Subclipse. Are you suggesting we ship native Cygwin versions? On the
surface, that seems doubtful. It is worth nothing that Subversion itself
releases Win32 binaries, including javaHL, and those are what we actually
release with Subclipse. If someone wants to volunteer to maintain a Cygwin
version it is a possibility. Does Eclipse offer anything at runtime that
would let a Cygwin-specific feature exist? In other words, does it
identify itself uniquely from Windows (win32 and x86)? If not, I do not
see how we could provide it.

Someone, I think Panagiotis, expressed an interest. It is nothing I plan
to work on in the short term. These are my reasons:
1) As much as is possible, I think we need to focus on getting to a 1.0
release.
2) While I think maintaining compatability with Eclipse 3.1 is important,
other than that, I do not think it makes a lot of sense to be spending time
on Eclipse 3.1 specific features before it has reached at least the Release
Candidate phase. If we had reached 1.0 status ourselves 4-5 months ago, I
would probably feel differently.
3) I would rather not see us do anything that breaks Eclipse 3.0
compatability in the near term. We have been able to add a couple of
Eclipse 3.1-specific features without breaking Eclipse 3.0, so that may
well be the case here as well. I do think we should support Eclipse 3.0
for a while though. At least until the IBM/Rational tools are all migrated
to Eclipse 3.1.
For me, the main issue is #1. Hopefully, Panagiotis or someone else is
working on some of these nice Eclipse 3.1 features. I am sure we will have
them someday.
