Blogging Roller: Eclipse 3.0 on Mac OS X

Eclipse 3.0 on Mac OS X

I noticed that MyEclipse now supports Eclipse 3.0 RC1, so I downloaded both last night. I must say, I'm impressed. Eclipse looks and feels much better than before on the Mac. Font sizes are reasonable and the theme looks better in some way, but I can't quite put my finger on exactly what it is. Code folding is sweet!

Post screenshots. I've never actually seen it on a Mac.

Yes, I've been using 3.0 on OS X for a while. At about the M9 build they did something. I don't know what they did, but suddenly it looked and felt a lot better. Perhaps it was a change in fonts. They changed the icons too. I'm using RC3 now, and now some things are in italics. I still find MyEclipse a little slugish. Opening a not-very-big XML file on a dual 2GHz with 2Gb memory shouldn't take 3 second for the 'outline' to appear. Oh well, it is beta!
