Eclipse 3.5 is very nice

I recently got really pissed off at Netbeans 6.1 while I have been developing some projects. Every time I tried to save a workspace and create a new one, everything would go all haywire. I would have to re-import my code into a blank project, and just pray that everything would continue to work if something changed. Well since a new version of Eclipse has recently been released, I figured why not give it a shot.

Well off I went to go and download Eclipse and see what new things would be incorporated into the new release. I will have to say that this release of Eclipse is really nice. I have been very impressed with it and the Eclipse community in a whole. Not only is the new version very stable, the community has rapidly updated there tools to work with this new release.

I will say that one of the best additions is the Java Import feature. In previous releases, if you did not import a Jar, it would not tell you in a little drop down bubble and allow you to select that jar. Now it is part of the code completion bubble, which is how most other ide’s work.

I am running this software on my Mac, which did not really work very well in the last release. This release works flawlessly on my Mac, which is a big relief as well.
