+++ title = "The Eclipse is here!!!!" date = 2005-07-25T00:02:50Z in_search_index = true [taxonomies] tags = [ "Languages", "Software-Development", "User-Interface", ] +++ Eclipse 3.1 has been released. I am a big fan of Eclipse. It is quite possibly the best all around IDE for developers out there. It may be a bit slow compared to a non java app, but has all the features you need. What more can you ask for. The Eclipse GUI interface (SWT) is significantly faster than its java counterparts also. I'd highly recommend taking it for a spin. It even supports a sophisticated update and patch downloading system to make keeping it up to date easy. That's something a lot of Open Source systems are lacking lately.
