I added Contrast and Bytecode Analyzer as plugins I installed in the past 12 months that I like. Everything installed easily from Eclipse Marketplace unless otherwise noted. I didn’t install it this year as I hardly used it. Last year, I tried out the Code Recommenders plugin.
I don’t remember that problem in previous years. A number of plugins were beta for Luna or I had to use the Kepler version. The significant plugins I use are listed in this table. Cleaning plugin house once a year is nice. Like last year, I decided to install the plugins I need for Eclipse Marketplace so I can shed the plugins I tried out and don’t actually want. I was a little worried about this since I didn’t like the home page. (I backed it up first in case.) Then I saw the Neon slash screen. I like to upload my workspace in place so I agreed that I would be preventing the workspace from opening in Mars again. Then it was done and I was able to launch Eclipse. As it was downloading the necessary pieces, I got a warning that downloading was slow. As I saw the progress bar, I got prompted to agree again. I clicked install and agreed to do the terms.
The default location seemed like as good a place as any. (I was wondering how they were going to deal with that when Mars went native.) This is good as it lets you have both Mars and Neon installed as native apps. Which means it doesn’t matter what you choose because it takes you to this point. The installer says “Eclipse installer by Oomph” and gives you a choice of a number of Eclipse packages. This is my first upgrade since that Eclipse became a native Mac app. With Eclipse Mars, they switched to a tar file/Eclipse installer for Mac. Overall, there’s a lot I’m excited about in this release.
I hadn’t heard of Scout which is a framework for HTML 5 among other things. Wonder how much IBM paid to have Bluemix listed second. It turns out not to matter if you choose the Java EE version or something else for the download. The list of Eclipse packages had a sponsored package in the list. The matrix comparing the packages is still clear. The “e” and “n” lights go out after a while which I suppose is cute. went with a neon colored theme to announce the launch of Neon.
