Eclipse 3.0

I'm currently using version 2.1.0 and I was wondering if I should wait until the official release of 3.0 to upgrade? Does the Lomboz plugin work in 3.0?

Lomboz has a current 3.0 build release as well as the 2.1.1 release. Oddly enough, Lomboz is keeping it's version #'s the same as Eclipse for simplicity sake I guess.
Personally, there isn't anything in 3.0 yet that I need. 2.1.1 does everything I need it to do and is very stable. Not to mention the fact that the plugin community is built around 2.1.1 and even after 3.0 is released as final, I am afraid it will take a long time for the plugins to get recompiled for 3.0.

As mentioned in another thread, we are using 3.0 here and experienced a big productivity boost. The instant synchronize view is great, there are many new great quick fixes/assists etc.
We also only found minor problems with the third party plugins we use.
