Eclipse 3.1 Released
Hergio writes "Eclipse 3.1, the popular IDE, has finally been released. There have been a lot of products waiting for Eclipse 3.1 to go final before progressing, so this is great news not only for the developers who use Eclipse directly, but for those who use tools built on top of Eclipse.
The site and all its mirrors appear to be getting hammered, so plan on waiting a day or so to get your copy. Do any Slashdotters know of any lesser known mirrors?"
Great! Another dup!
What are you editors on?

This could get ugly.

"Update: 06/28 21:03 GMT by Z : Denis emailed to request we use mirrors, as they're already getting hammered pretty hard."
NOTHING can stop the SLASHDOT ARMADA!

Do you really have so little regard for your jobs that you can't take 5 seconds to do a browser search of the front page ('eclipse' would have found this dupe, and 'fusion' would have found the first)? Un-fucking-believable!
GNAA Announces Immediate Release of OSX_x86_YHBT
Ich Bindawalross (London) - GNAA (NYSE: GNAA) President timecop released a statement today regarding the immediate Internet release of MacOS X for the x86 architecture, available on many BitTorrent networks. After making the statement, timecop yielded the stage to a second speaker at the press conference, Apple Computer co-Founder and CEO, Steve "Rim" Jobs, now fully recovered from his recent gender reassignment surgery to field questions from attending press members.
"We here at Apple Computerth [sic] have decided on a slightly different path for the upcoming version of the MacOS X," Jobs states before bursting out into high pitched giggles. "We have replaced our overpriced and bloated software with an efficient and easy-to-use interface. I would like to take this opportunity to announce a merger larger than a Zimbabwe nigger cock: GNAA and Apple Computer."
Returning to the podium, timecop began speaking again, while Steve Jobs submitted to orally pleasuring his ten inch nigger cock. "Dedicated faggots have been loyally purchasing the homosexual software and hardware abomination that is Macintosh computers. Apple has been striving to provide software customers with the most flambouyantly homosexual combination available. However, in recent days, this hasn't been enough.
"There has been increasing pressure from the disgustingly obese Lunix nerds and the socially well-adjusted and popular Windows users to convert, as well as pressure from OS X emulators to provide consumers with increasingly gay products. Apple Computer has decided to merge with GNAA in order to broaden the appeal and better serve the interests of all those who buy Macintosh products. Furthermore, we will adopt Apple's "Step 2 ???? PROFIT!" marketing model. This will also stop Apple from going out of business, which they probably would have otherwise."
At this point, timecop paused and deposited a quart of Gaynigger seed into Steve Jobs' mouth.
"GNAApple is committed to our new OS X86. Rather than give the user the difficulty of finding pornography themselves, we provide them with the classic hello.jpg, redundantly archived and brand labeled throughout the 950 MB DVD image, as well as a bundled copy of GPA (Gay Porn Avalanche). Now, greater efficiency in masturbatory pursuits can be provided to all."
"As Slashdot users, many of you might have been exposed to the pirated release, and information pertaining to it. We would like to thank Rob "CmdrCocko" Malda for running the first article, leading to the release of information about our upcoming merger. We would also like to extend our gratitude to thepiratebay.org and XiSO for helping us spread the release over the 'underground scene.' We thank you, the IRC channels who put it on their hacked .edu xdcc bots and fserves who hosted it on your dialup connections.
Steve Jobs, recovering from the large dosage of AIDS from the variety of syphilitic, festering sores of GNAA members, rose to his feet at this point during the press conference. "Our previous versions of OS X were released prematurely, and as a result the operating system was unstable and fragile. Our team of software engineers have also decided to abandon the weak and inefficient UNIX backside in favor of a more efficient and robust alternative: WinNT. The pirated version of our new operating system has had record acclaim from users of the Jewish-based internet news organization known as "Slashdot".
"Those doubting the superiority of our new release need only read user testimonials."

It's not so much the fact that people make mistakes that annoys so much here ... to err is human after all.
What's really annoying is that the developers willfully ignore the issue and refuse to put in the anti-dupe automation that could so easily catch dupes, like hundreds of people have said in the past.
We have the itch, but it's the Slashcode devs that need to scratch it (it's no use us changing our copy), and there seems to be no desire for that particular improvement among them. Total crap.
A few generous people on Quakenet offered these to the public-

p se/downloads/drops/R-3.1-200506271435/ p se/R-3.1-200506271435/
Here is one for win32 users.

There's also a magnet link (which is supported by most peer to peer programs such as Limewire and Ares) located at
magnet:?xt=urn:btih:BW6W3QUP7CD23KZRGZG4BK7M4LX
If those don't work try using Net magnet 4.0.
One of those links takes you directly to a win32 download. However, for the Linux developers as well (there are a few different variations of it in the directory so please select one to your liking)
NOTE: These also have variations of eclipse for the Mac and win32 users as well.

Happy coding all!
is better at spotting dupes than the "editors".
It's official. Most of you are morons.
I'm surprised such a large open source project could be so careless as to releasee version 3.1 twice in two days! Makes me question the quality altogether. That's it.. I'm moving to netbeans.
ahh... soft soothing dupes... no jarring new information in the morning, just cushy favorites from days past...
Incompotent /. editors.

I always wait until Genuitec has released their version, with all its bells and whistles. Works on Win32, OSX and Linux with hundred+ plugins already configged and ready to go; those guys rock.

I hadn't heard about Eclipse enough at all. I mean, the last time someone told me about this, was... oh, yesterday. Right here on Slashdot. So like, uh, keep up the good work.
For those just joining the waking world, Eclipse is not referring to a chewing gum, a Japanese car, or a celestial event, but if you can remember at least twenty-four hours back, then you knew that.
