You can download it from here. New version of Eclipse IDE - Eclipse 3.6 - is released now. It has many fixes and improvements:

  • support of new platforms (Power PC 64 and Windows x64) and full support of OS Windows 7 and MacOS X
  • now it's possible to use webkit engine instead of default mozilla's
  • new filters, menus, dialogs and more stuff
  • many changes for Java-developers

This release, apparently, has nothing revolutional. As usual, most important bug of Eclipse - its strong slowness - presented in this release completely. I don't think this "bug" will be fixed in the next few years. Generally, all applications written in Java have this problem.

I wonder why Java is still used for big projects like Eclipse. In theory, of course, Java is fast, cross-platform, perfectly extendible and bla-bla programming language, but in real life... I still haven't seen a worthwhile application or a webstie or even a game written in Java. Everybody say, "Java is enterpise". Probably, they are right, and Java can be used only by corporations which are ready to spend any amounts of money on simple programs and on servers for that programs. By the way, those servers cost thousands of dollars and, apparently, only such servers can host Java.

It's a pity that Eclipse is on the "enterprise" way. After all, Eclipse platform is a great idea - opensource, extendible, multilingual integrated development environment, but Java is killing that idea. That's why I'll continue to use Kate and console, and will use Eclipse only for debugging. That's very sad that there is still no good IDE for linux, although Windows has this problem too.

Are there people who still think PHP isn't sucks? PHP can't be used at all on big sites like Wikipedia or Facebook. It's just a homepage preprocessor.
