Eclipse 3.3.1 came out a few days ago. This is a much safer release
(read: usable at all) than 3.3.0 was. I've been using the 3.3.1
streams basically since the day that 3.3.0 came out, and it's
acceptable for everyday use. I think there is still a port leak in
3.3.1, though it's possible it is a WOLips port leak, so you may have
to restart your Eclipse after a while of using it (if you notice
Eclipse running like a dog after using it for a while, this is most
likely the reason). If you switch to 3.3.x, you MUST use the nightly
WOLips builds. Like before, the stable branch is 3.2.x and the
nightly branch is 3.3.x. Eclipse is usually pretty forgiving about
moving between versions, but be aware that it's POSSIBLE that your
workspace metadata might not move cleanly between (meaning, in the
worst case, if you try to go back to 3.2, you may have to reimport
your projects). This is just a warning -- it may work perfectly
fine, but I haven't been on 3.2 in a long time, so I just can't vouch
for it personally.
Keep in mind that because 3.3.x of Eclipse has been wonky, there
haven't been as many eyes on the new builds of WOLips, so you may run
into things in the new features that have gone into the 3.x branch.
Also, I've documented the custom project template plugin that is in
3.3 (it's been there for a little while, but it's gotten some
improvements in tonight's build): http://wiki.objectstyle.org/
confluence/display/WOL/Custom+Project+Templates . Right now, there's
a sample of a Wonder Application project that comes built-in (or will
in the build tonight), but I think we should probably move all the
project templates over to this system rather than the way we
currently build project templates (which is a lot more complicated
and requires a lot of code).
