Eclipse Callisto Released

Eclipse Callisto挾帶著新版的Eclipse 3.2正式release了
Callisto不是一個新的project，也不是一個新的IDE
Callisto官方網站上就有說明：

Callisto is about improving the productivity of the developers working on top of Eclipse frameworks by providing a more transparent and predictable development cycle. By releasing 10 projects at the same time, the goal is to eliminate uncertainty about version compatibility and make it easier to incorporate multiple projects into your environment.

While Callisto is about the simultaneous release of ten projects, it is not a unification of the projects - each project remains a separate open source project operating with its own project leadership, its own committers, and its own project plan.

也就是當你想要額外裝一些plugin時
只要與往常一樣使用Install/Update Manager
改連到Callisto的URL
它就會列出來那些整理好可以安裝的plugin
並且會幫你檢查那些plugin的相依性
就不用像以往有些plugin沒有裝或是版本不相容
需要自己檢查
算是個蠻方便的創新功能

如果你還不熟悉Eclipse
可以參考下列網站中所列出的常用應用裡面右邊的教學
