I use Eclipse as my IDE and there is not doubt that MyEclipse is the best incarnation of that IDE. Before WSAD users blow their hats, I like to say that maybe WSAD has more features or is more stable or whatever (I wouldn’t know), it’s priced ridiculously high and is upgraded at a snail pace compared to MyEclipse. This latest release is based on Europa which is a very impressive feat by itself since Europa was released just a few months back and adds a ton of new features to Eclipse. Kudos to Genuitec for their active development of the IDE. I can say for sure that MyEclipse has helped me a lot especially in terms of packaging and deployment, Hibernate reverse-engineering, application server support (I use Tomcat + Weblogic), XDoclet support and Spring integration. If you are coding Java, you’re missing out on a lot of productivity if you don’t at least try MyEclipse. Forget about writing tedious Ant scripts or taking forever to deploy to an application server, MyEclipse takes the learning curve out of those tasks.

I can go on writing about MyEclipse’s benefit but why don’t you download it and go through the tutorials yourself? I guarantee you’ll be pleasantly surprised. Read more about the latest release on Genuitec’s website and The Server Side.

Update: Initial impressions

1. It’s speedier than the 5.1 GA (I skipped 5.5). This is to be expected since Eclipse 3.3 has tons of optimizations in addition to Genuitec’s efforts.
2. It’s Java 6 friendly. As with all Eclipse installs, compiling against multiple JDK is easy. In fact, I run Eclipse off JDK 6 but compile for 1.4.
3. Install size has ballooned up to 569MB compared to 390MB for 5.1 GA.
4. Installation also takes quite some time due to heavily compressed installer. But I guess the savings in download time more than makes up for this.

The Palm Foleo, is no more. And I have to say I’m glad. As a companion to the Treo, in order for the Foleo to sell, there has to be *a lot* of Treos in the market. Sad to say that despite having excellent usability and software library, the Treo is no hot item. In fact, Palm’s dwindling market share shows that the sub-par Treo (mostly hardware wise) is losing big time to HTC, Asus and Ipaqs of the current times. Long gone were the days of Palm supremacy. I’m happy that Palm’s management is taking more concrete actions to refocus their energy and effort on improving their core product - the Treos and Palm handhelds. Please get a new Treo out with WiFi so that I can dump the Windows Mobile junk.

More thoughts: I recall some announcements from 3rd party developers with software prepared for the Foleo. I guess it’s not good news for everyone then…
