Along with the arrival of summer, late June marks the arrival of the Eclipse Foundation's annual release train, with the open source tooling organization simultaneously releasing a multitude of technologies. This year's release train, dubbed Mars, is the 10th in the series. It improves the organization's stalwart Java IDE and adds Docker accomodations.
Downloadable at the Eclipse website, Mars represents the work of 79 open source projects and 65 million lines of code. "There are a number of new features in the Java IDE to make it easier for Java developers, like hierarchical view of nest projects, the ability to customize perspectives, new Java quick fixes and speed improvements for text search," Ian Skerrett, Eclipse vice president of marketing, said in an email.
