There's a OS X port in progress, if you're interested in helping out then join the swt mailinglist. you can download a recent build from the swt project page on www.eclipse.org
well since it's all java classes they're not x86 specific. the platform code is swt library and the launcher app... you can do without the launcher. and by the way swt does not support macos x yet.
well.. first of all.. the gui package (swt) is not propriatary. it's opensource as well.. the source is included in the distribution. second. wait for the gtk, osx, qt? bindings to show up that'll improve things on *nix.
i've been using eclipse for 4 months or so and think it's the best IDE i've ever used. I don't think it's slow.. well it's still not a native app. and the motif stuff on *nix is still a bit slow but on windows and with the swt gtk bindings it rocks.
during the past months i haven't experienced any crashes or loss of data even though i'm on the integration builds.
to sum it up. a great platform which improves with every release.

There are binaries "out there". Take a look at the eclipse download page. There's been mac builds for the last week or so.

there's a plugin for it on the eclipse homepage. try searching for it on www.eclipse.org
no. the files are imported to the project's dir located in the workspace.
but yes you have to import.. on windows this can be done by drag drop.. dunno about *nix
oh and if you just need syntax coloring, try the included swt samples. one of them can open a java file a display them with eclipse' sysntax coloring
well.. yes? it's from the CDT project, a c/c++ plugin for eclipse.

why would you need to compile eclipse on your own?

well... as long va java(enterprise edition) does not yet exist on linux.. we can't change :( although a LOT of ppl here would love to..
And (in case my manager is reading this ;-) getting approval to work on Open Source in your 'personal time' is a long process too.
Hm.. no problem for me though..
