<td><p align="right"><b>Eclipse on Vista</b></p></td>
<td>The win32 version of Eclipse now runs beautifully on Windows Vista. SWT now exploits
native features of the Vista platform, such as native double-buffering to make
painting in double-buffered canvases twice as fast.
<p><img src="images/vista-win32.png" alt="Eclipse on Vista (win32)" border="0"></p></td>

<tr>
<td><p align="right"><b>New Eclipse WPF port</b></p></td>
<td><p>Eclipse is now available on Windows Presentation
Foundation (WPF), a new window system that comes pre-installed on Microsoft Windows Vista.<br>
<br>
This port is in early access form for 3.3. While this port is stable enough for
exploration and development, it has not yet matured to the level of stability
and performance you have come to expect from the Eclipse platform. Stay
tuned for more improvements on this platform in future releases.</p>

<tr>
<td><p align="right"><b>Quick access</b></p></td>
<td>To quickly access UI elements such as views,
commands, preference pages, and others, use the new Quick Access dialog,
available under <b>Window &gt; Navigation</b> and bound to <b>Ctrl+3</b> by
default. Start typing in the filter field to see matches. For example,
to open the console view, type Ctrl+3 followed by "con". One
of the first matches will be to open the console view. You can use the
arrow keys to select a different match for a given filter string. Press
Enter to select the highlighted entry. This will execute the command, or
open the view, perspective, or wizard etc.
<p><img src="images/ctrl-3-1.png" alt="Ctrl+3 shot 1"></p>
<p>Your previous choices will be remembered and shown the next time the
dialog opens. If you enter the same filter string again, the entry you
picked last time will be selected automatically.</p>
<p><img src="images/ctrl-3-2.png" alt="Ctrl+3 shot 2"></p>
<p>Using the initials of the words you are trying to find, you can narrow
down your choices using very few letters.</p>
<p><img src="images/ctrl-3-3.png" alt="Ctrl+3 shot 3"></p></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><p align="right"><b>Undo support for resource operations</b></p></td>
<td>Undo and redo are now available for most resource
changes. When you manipulate projects, folders, or files, you now have
the ability to undo and redo the changes you have made. This includes resource
creation, deletion, move, copy, and rename. Use the <strong>Edit</strong> menu
from the Navigator view to undo the operation. Note that operations from
other views (such as the Java Package Explorer or Project Explorer) may not support undo.
<p> <img src="images/navundo.png" title="Undo available for resource operations" alt="Screenshot showing the undo available after deleting resources from the Navigator"></p></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><p align="right"><b>Undo support for task and bookmark operations</b></p></td>
<td>Undo is now available for many task and bookmark
operations. When you create, update, add, or delete a task or bookmark,
you now have the ability to undo that change. Use the <strong>Edit</strong>
menu from the Navigator, Package Explorer, Tasks, or Bookmarks views to
undo the operation.
<p><img src="images/marker-undo.png" alt="Screenshot showing the undo available after adding a task to the tasks view"></p></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><p align="right"><b>A new look</b></p></td>
<td>Eclipse has a new default presentation. Some of the key features
of this presentation are:
<ul>
<li>New Minimize/Maximize behavior. The new 'Minimize' behavior is to move the
view stack to the nearest trim area, showing a 'Restore' button along with the
icons for the views in the stack. When in the trim, clicking on a view icon will show
the view as a fast view. Minimized stacks can be drag and dropped to new locations
along the workbench trim. Maximization of any stack triggers minimization of all others.
Maximizing an editor now maximizes the entire editor area, allowing you to view
multiple editors side-by-side while maximized.</li>
<li>New workbench tab treatments. Workbench tabs have a new color
scheme based on your system title background color, and unselected tabs
now also have rounded corners to match the appearance of
selected tabs. When tabs become crowded, they now maintain their icon and
no longer show an ellipsis in order to maximize the amount of useful information.</li>
</ul>
<p><img src="images/trim.png" alt="Trim"></p>
<p>You can reinstate the old presentation via the <b>General &gt; Appearance</b> preference
page.</p></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><p align="right"><b>Improved workspace switching</b></p></td>
<td><p>When you switch workspaces you can now transfer some of your current
settings with you. The most recently used workspaces now appear on the file menu
under the <b>Switch Workspace</b> item for quick access.</p>
<p><img src="images/settings-transfer.png" alt="Setting transfer while switching workspaces"></p></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><p align="right"><b>Improved resource selection dialog</b></p></td>
<td>The resource selection dialog (<b>Navigate &gt; Open Resource</b>)
now allows you to filter based on working set, and supports camel-case search.
For example, searching with the string "TIMF" will match a file called "ThisIsMyFile".
<p> The dialog also now shows the history of recently opened items, and allows
multi-selection to open several resources at once.</p>
<p><img src="images/openresource.png" alt="Resource selection dialog"></p></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><p align="right"><b>All plug-ins are now signed</b></p></td>
<td>All plug-ins in Eclipse project builds are now signed using a cryptographic
signature provided by the Eclipse Foundation. This allows you to authenticate that
the content you receive from the download server matches the content on
eclipse.org. Eclipse update manager will also authenticate the signatures on these
plug-ins when they are provided from an update site. You can see information
about plug-in signatures under <b>Help &gt; About Eclipse &gt; Plug-in Details</b></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><p align="right"><b>Working set usability improvements</b></p></td>
<td>You can now add and remove selected elements
to and from working sets in your workspace. This functionality is found in the
Edit menu as well as in the toolbar. You can also create a new working set
directly from the <b>Add to working set</b> toolbar dropdown. To access
this functionality, you may need to add the <b>Working Set Manipulation</b>
command group to your perspective via <b>Window &gt; Customize Perspective</b>.
<p><img src="images/addtoworkingset.png" alt="Add to working set"></p></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><p align="right"><b>Hiding the window toolbar</b> </p></td>

<b>Window &gt; Show Toolbar</b>
<p><img src="images/hidetoolbar.png" alt="Hide window toolbar"></p></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><p align="right"><b>Working sets for the Project Explorer</b></p></td>
<td><p>The Project Explorer can now group and filter elements by working set. You can
display working sets as top-level groupings or aggregated into a flat list. The window
working sets can also be selected and grouped or aggregated based on a preference. </p>
<p><img src="images/px-workingsets3.png" alt="Working Sets top level groupings submenu in Project Explorer"></p></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><p align="right"><b>Patch wizard improvements</b></p></td>
<td>The Apply Patch wizard now allows you to preview
the patch changes against the contents of the local workspace. When applying
CVS patches, you can also now manually apply unmatched patch segments to
the local file. No more digging through *.rej files!
<p><img src="images/patch.png" alt="Apply Patch wizard"></p></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><p align="right"><b>Compare editor improvements</b></p></td>
<td>The compare editor has a number of significant improvements:
<ul>
<li>The contents of compare editors are now kept in sync with other editors
currently open on the same file.</li>
<li>Comparisons that used to take a long time now take a matter of seconds,
thanks to a new text differencing algorithm.</li>
<li>Compare editors are now initialized in the background so that the UI remains
responsive while the files are being fetched and compared.</li>
<li>Many of your favorite editor commands are now available in compare editors,
including find/replace, show whitespace characters, show line numbers, and the Show In
sub-menu.</li>
<li>Compare editors now highlight individual changes within a block of changes.</li>
</ul>
<p><img src="images/highlight.png" alt="Highlighting of changes in compare editors"></p>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><p align="right"><b>Compare Structure in Outline view</b></p></td>
<td>You can now view the structure pane of a compare editor
in the Outline view. To enable this, go to the <b>General &gt; Compare/Patch</b> preference
page and check <i>Show structure compare in Outline view when possible</i>.
Selecting structure elements in the Outline view will scroll the content
pane in the Compare editor to reveal the change in the selected element.
<p><img src="images/outline.png" alt="Structure compare pane in Outline view"></p></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><p align="right"><b>Long resource paths on Windows</b></p></td>
<td>Where the underlying file system allows it, you can now create resources with
paths longer than 260 characters on Windows. This requires a Java 1.5 VM or greater.
<p><img src="images/long-names.png" alt="Navigator view showing long resource path names"> </p></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><p align="right"><b>Open files with other editors</b></p></td>
<td>
You can now open files with editors that are not registered for the specific
file extension. Right-click on your file and select <b>Open With &gt; Other</b>.
You will be presented with a list of editors to choose from.
<p><img src="images/openwith-other.png" alt="Open With-&gt;Other..."></p></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><p align="right"><b>Forms enhancements</b></p></td>
<td>UI forms have many visual and functional enhancements, including rendering
and layout of the heading area, with drop-down menu, drag and drop, and shared-header support. Form validation
now supports multiple messages, and shows which field the error occurred in.
<p><img src="images/forms-enhancements.png" alt="Sample forms editor"></p></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><p align="right"><b>Platform level proxy and SSH2 settings</b></p></td>
<td>A new <b>General &gt; Network Connections</b> preference
page has been added for managing proxy settings.
<p>In addition, the <a href="http://www.jcraft.com/jsch/" target="_blank">JSch
SSH2 client</a> used by the Eclipse CVS client has been
pushed down to the Eclipse Platform so that it can be used by other
clients as well. Use the new <b>General &gt; Network Connections &gt; SSH2</b> preference
page to configure it.</p>
<p><img src="images/proxy.png" alt="Network Connections preference page"> </p></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><p align="right"><b>Keys preference page improvements</b></p></td>
<td>The Keys preference page displays your key bindings
and can optionally display all available commands that can be bound to
keys. Customized key bindings are marked by the "delta"
icon <img src="images/change-obj.gif" alt="delta" height="16" width="16"> in
the User column.
<p>You can now:</p>
<ul>
<li>Update a selected binding immediately by modifying the Binding or

<td><p align="right"><b>Editor area drag and drop </b></p></td>
<td><p>Dragging external files (i.e., from the Windows file explorer) on to the
editor area of a workbench window has the same effect as <b>Open
File</b>. Also, you can now drag an editor between workbench windows
associated with the same workspace.</p></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><p align="right"><b>Properties view make over</b></p></td>
<td><p>The Properties view has adapted to the new

<p><img src="images/tabbed-properties-view.png" alt="tabbed properties view"></p></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><p align="right"><b>Console launcher for Windows<br>
</b></p></td>
<td>There is now a second launcher "eclipsec.exe" on Windows that behaves as
expected for a console application. This allows piping the output from Eclipse,
sending the Ctrl+Break signal to the VM to generate a stack dump, and better
behavior in general for the standard -console, -consoleLog and -debug options.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><p align="right"><b>Improved detection of Mozilla plug-ins</b></p></td>
<td>Users of Mozilla-based browsers can now augment
the default set of Mozilla plug-in paths that are searched by defining
environment variable <code>MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH</code>. For example:<p>
