I've found it's always safest to say "Minor", unless you do understand the
question.  Solaris 9, Solaris 10, Solaris-whatever-comes-next -- those are all
"minor" releases.  And all questions of "release binding" are with respect to
Solaris releases.

I have no idea how "major" could ever be used.

Now I'm sure the finer points will be explained to us...

I think he means your package names should be SUNWeclipse and SUNWeclipse-root
(or SUNWeclipseu and SUNWeclipser), rather than simply 'eclipse'.

He's asking, where do you plan to check-in this code?  Are you planning to
check this into ON, SFW, Desktop....?

I've answered that above, but you also reference a package called 'j6dev'.  A
closer inspection of pkg.opensolaris.org shows that package is SUNWj6dev, not
j6dev.
