Eclipse on Leopard used to have a very nasty bug that made it to crash in certain circumstances. Now I just downloaded the main Eclipse distribution (I figured, it’s been a while, the main download SHOULD have fixed this now). And it still crashes.
Now, I’m sure it’ll be fixed in the next version, but what does it take to supply all people on Leopard with patched version (as the main download version).
Sure, I know the integration and stream builds all have the fix, but do I really have to go through all the trouble of downloading a stream integration build to get such a patch? What about people that just want to try things out and don’t know about this bug.
Of course, I could be totally wrong here and maybe there is a easily downloadable version for Leopard somewhere, but then I missed it. Let me know if you have any alternatives.
What version of Eclipse are you downloading?
I don’t think you should have problems with the latest milestone of Eclipse, 3.4M4
Yes, I’m sure it’ll work with 3.4M4.
But what I was really aiming at was a patched Europa. How hard can it be to fix a very critical bug for a big group of people, for a product that is very mainstream… I just want to be on a stable 3.3 version!
No joke. I’m using Pulse to manage Eclipse and MyEclipse, and as far as I can tell I cannot choose my release of eclipse so I’m stuck with a broken copy if I want to use Pulse. I don’t think MyEclipse works on 3.4M4 either. We need a fix.
