Eclipse 3.2 M4 - Old and Already Implemented

Thursday, December 22nd, 2005

Some people think that because Eclipse is better than Visual Studio, it must be the best there is. I’ve made a table out of the Eclipse 3.2 M4 “New and Noteworthy” document which lists new features and describes which competitor already had that feature. Some features are indeed new, and are not implemented by any other product; however, most “new” features were already present in existing tools and frameworks (mainly in Swing and IntelliJ IDEA).

The table is here: Eclipse 3.2 M4 - Old and Already Implemented.

UPDATE: people are discussing this table at this JavaLobby thread.
