New Eclipse 3.0M2 build looks promising

I’m not sure why I keep doing this to myself, but Eclipse 3.0 M2 looks promissing. More and more IDEA features are brought onboard. Including it appears several that IDEA doesnt have.

Quick DIff Revert
This quickdiff looks similar but maybe even better(???) than IDEAs Auroras equivalent.

One of my favorite refactoring tools in IDEA is extract method. It looks like theyve got one over IDEA here with the new “duplicate code fragment” finder. That is pretty useful.

Now, I assume I still have to figure out a bunch of stuff to install a xml editor?? Well anyway, its downloading as I type.

I use oxygenxml. I like it, but I'm still waiting for the outline implementation.

The easiest (?) way to get an XML editor is to create a new plugin yourself within Eclipse. If you use the plugin creation wizard, one of the options is to include an editor - which just happens to be a reasonably fully featured XML editor. :) I'm using that for XML and JSPs at the moment (I've found 3.0M2 a little flaky with some of the other plugins out there, so I'm holding off on installing anything non-essential until the release) and it's basic but workable. Why they don't include it as an installed plugin as standard is beyond me...
