Eclipse 3.1 Released

Posted by timothy on from the view-through-glass dept.

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?"

    You editors are either dumb as rocks, criminally incompetent, or enjoy pissing people off by intentionally posting dupes. This is the second time in the last hour.

    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!

    Here's one!

  3. Why no anti-dupe automation in Slashcode? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 2, Insightful

    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.

    It's official. Most of you are morons.
  5. Faulty release methodology by 1nv4d3r · · Score: 4, Funny

    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...

    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.
