Use at your own risk. Eclipse works fine when you fake it out - it seems to have no code at all dealing with differences (which there aren't many... certainly nothing that a client should be bothered with - eclipse makes errors in its parsing such as assuming user output is authoritative and ignoring the data from the underlying protocol.. however even with that in mind there isn't a huge amount of difference). The whole point of the fake unix option is to make eclipse work. Really everyone should be using this with it. If there are still incompatibilities with that option enabled I can at least write workarounds that can be switched off for proper clients... however I couldn't find any (before my temporary WSAD license expired anyway). 2.0.14 is at the borders of supportability right now - it's still basically supportable because the number of new features since is low, but I would recommend upgrading.
