Yesterday Ganymede arrieved. Fresh new Eclipse 3.4 and a tons of plugins as usually.
Some nice new features, feels like a bit faster. But! P2, the new “update system”… grrr. Okay, the old one was bad, I know. But it did work. It took me usually about 30 minutes to assemble an eclipse-jee with AJDT, subversive, q4e, mylyn exts and to import some of my workspaces. Today, with Ganymede and P2 it took me about 4 hours. Ouch. And I still do not have AJDT, and no dependency viewer from q4e.
I hope this will stabilize, and that this will pay off…

First there were the nasty problem with PermGenSpece, and now this…

This is not mean to be an in-depth analysis or an article about sheer numbers, charts and stuff. It’s just few thoughts and examples from the real world.
