I just got the notice that Eclipse 3.0 M2 is now
available. I've already been using 3.0, but judging by the release
notes there's a lot of chewy Eclipse goodness loaded in this
release. I've already downloaded it and "installed" it, such as it
is. I've upgrading my JDK to 1.4.2 and will
fire the new Eclipse up shortly.
Update: OK, I've got M2 and JDK 1.4.2
installed. While it does monopolize my CPU on startup, once up it is
fast! And there are lots of spiffy new features. My favorites
so far are the JavaDoc and Declaration views. The JavaDoc view shows
the javadoc for the selected method and the declaration view shows the
declaration. Clicking on the "println" part of System.out.println
results in the javadoc or the source code being shown, depending on
which view is selected. Another feature, which mimics something that
is in the new IntelliJ is
a change indicator in the gutter on lines that you've changed in this
editing session. Hovering over the marker shows what the line looked
like before and allows you to revert changes. Very nice, indeed!
