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?"

[Goalie_Ca]

At least this is only first dupe!

Re:Hey...

[JamesTRexx]

Maybe the developers of Eclipse got jealous about the QT story getting on top of the developers page so thay paid to get another article here? :-P

Dupe

[DeathToBill]

What are you editors on?

Oh no, here we go again.

[bersl2]

This could get ugly.

Why no anti-dupe automation in Slashcode?

[Anonymous Coward]

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.

That's right, teach them a lesson.

"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!

Dumbshit Editors!!

[Anonymous Coward]

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!

DUPE

[Agoln]

HEHeHehehehehehe.... dupes dupes everywhere... and only 3 posts down :(

mirrors

[Anonymous Coward]

Do any Slashdotters know of any lesser known mirrors?

Here's one! [slashdot.org]

Re:mirrors

[imess]

dups at slashdot are too well known. so no, that doesn't answer the question

[myspys]

have a look at the mirrors found on this page

A few generous people on Quakenet offered these to the public-

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:BW6W3QUP7CD23KZRGZG4BK7M4LX2 WB K3

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 a

It comes to something when the readership

is better at spotting dupes [slashdot.org] than the "editors".

Re:It comes to something when the readership

[dtfinch]

Last time, the main site was slashdotted before any of the mirrors could grab a copy. This is a little reminder for those who gave up. It's on at least a couple of the mirrors this time around.

Faulty release methodology

[1nv4d3r]

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...

MyEclipseIDE is worth it

[ubiquitin]

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

Thanks for the timely update

[suitepotato]

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.
