I'm going to wait until 2.1.1 before I try it, but from the New and Noteworthy page it looks like they've added some really great and useful features. Eclipse just gets better and better.

Phew! Finally managed to download it. I've been trying for days, but every time it would time out part way through the download. I guess everyone else must have been trying as well, and at 65MB it's not a small thing!
I only managed to download it using a download manager... :roll: BTW, 2.1 is quite stable (the last release candidate already was). The only problem I found till today is that you cannot "extract local variable" on a method parameter (it gives a NPE).

i upgraded from 2.1-RC to 2.1 and found some behavior i am not too keen on. specifically, a lot of file extensions have been tied to external tools for editing. so if i click on a file whatever.xml in the navigator i no longer get whatever.xml in a text-edit window. i get a 5-second delay and then mozilla pops up trying to render my xml file. same for .xslt files, and other types (.sql for example) try to use OpenOffice for crying out loud. i've looked through preferences and haven't found where this is configured. the file associations tab doesn't list any of these. i have "patched" most of them by adding a file association with a mapping to the text editor, but that is indeed a band-aid. for instance, i can map *.xslt to the text editor, but not *.xml (since i want to use the ant editor for build.xml). anyone know how to turn this off? i've found eclipse to be a fantastic ide that gets better and better, but this has me buffaloed. thanks.

You can map *.xml to the text editor and build.xml to the ant editor without problems. You could also install XML-Buddy for the xml and xslt files...

Right-click on the file, choose "open with..." and select the editor you like. Hope this helps...

that's what i get for not even trying it. thanks. as for XML-Buddy, got any links. i did a google search with no results, also looked on http://eclipse-plugins.2y.net/eclipse/plugins.jsp?category=XML with same lack of results. i'd get all gooey inside over a nice xml editor...

that's what i end up doing, but after i've forgotten and clicked, then waited for mozilla to try to start, then killed it... grrr. again, thanks!
