You’ve all had “feature freeze” phases during your software development life cycle, right? But what about a “bug fix freeze”? That’s what our team’s in right now. Due to the fact that we’re going to be doing a major demo to our mentors on July 4th, our MBA intern is pushing us all to work on features instead of fixing bugs. This simply goes against all programming principles I hold dear and everything I live by. Have I been living a lie?

There might still be some download/mirror/synchronization issues at the moment, but with any luck, you should be able to download Eclipse 3.3, with the simultaneous release being “codenamed” as ‘Europa’. You can find out what are the new and noteworthy features in this release right here.

Happy hacking all!

The code that I wrote back in April was IP approved yesterday by the Eclipse legal team. The eRCP team is going to take it from here now, although I’ll naturally be trying hard to keep tabs on the thing. I don’t know when they will get to it, but it will definitely be “happy times” when they do.
