Engadget reports that the Black Tie edition of the Treo 650 is launching in the US. A quick check to Palm Malaysia’s website reveals that’s it’s not here yet, even though it’s supposed to be released initially for the Asia Pacific region. My say? Enough with the milking already, bring on the 700p.

Eclipse Callisto is an effort to simultaneously release ten Eclipse projects at the same time. This is to simplify installation of these projects. I have to admit, there’s been many times where plugins and/or projects don’t work properly because of conflicting versions. The question of whether or not to overwrite a certain jar is always there. Callisto aims to solve this.

To get access to Callisto, get hold of a Callisto binary runtime of Eclipse RC7 (it’s the latest during the time of writing). Visit the Eclipse Callisto Discovery page for latest versions. It’s only about 30+ MB because it’s just the core Eclipse IDE, no Java plugins, no C++ plugins. You’ll have to get these using the update manager.

Here’s how:

Step 1: Access the downloaded Eclipse Callisto menu and select Help –> Software Updates –> Find and Install

Step 2: Select ‘Search for new features to install’

Step 3: Choose ‘Callisto Discovery Site’ and hit the ‘Finish’ button

Step 4: Select the nearest mirror to you. You can also choose the default Callisto Discovery Site

Step 5: Select features to install. If there are any dependency issues, click on the ‘Select Required’ button or manually check the appropriate projects

Step 6: Agree to the license agreement

Step 7: Choose the directory to install. Mine is set to ‘C:\eclipse_callisto’.

Step 8: Wait for the download to complete (it does take a while). As of writing this, mine is still downloading.
