Annual Eclipse Release Now Available
OTTAWA, June 24 /PRNewswire/ --
- Highlights Include Mac Cocoa Support, Domain-Specific Language
Modeling and Updates to Equinox; Multi-Language Support Immediately Available
For the sixth year in a row, the Eclipse community has delivered its
annual release train on its scheduled date. Galileo, the 2009 release train,
is the largest ever release from the Eclipse community, comprising 33
projects and over 24 million lines of code. Over 380 committers from 44
different organizations participated to make this release possible.
The new features in the Galileo release reflect three important trends in
the Eclipse community:
1) Expanding adoption of Eclipse in the enterprise
2) Innovation of Eclipse modeling technology
3) Advancement of EclipseRT runtime technology.
Each project has published 'new and noteworthy' documentation for their
specific release. More details can be found at
http://www.eclipse.org/galileo/.
For the first time ever, language translations of the Eclipse Platform
project v3.5 will be available on the release date. Language packs for
Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, French, German, Japanese and Korean
will be available immediately, and other languages and projects will be
available when completed. This simultaneous release has been made possible by
the Eclipse Babel project and the community of individuals and organizations
that have provided translations.
"With Galileo the Eclipse community demonstrates that large distributed
software development can be done on a predictable schedule," explained Mike
Milinkovich, Executive Director of the Eclipse Foundation. "This
predictability makes it possible for our user and adopter community to
quickly adopt new releases from Eclipse."
The projects in the Galileo release train are now available for download
at http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/. More information about Galileo is
