 <h1>Eclipse Juno M2 - New and Noteworthy</h1>
 <p>As the <a href="http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/juno/overview/index.html">Juno spacecraft</a>
 rockets towards Jupiter, the <a href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/Juno">Juno train</a> is also making
 good progress. Here are some of the more noteworthy things available in milestone build M2
  (September 16, 2011) which is now available for <a href="http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/" target="_top">download</a>.
 Unless otherwise indicated, all entries listed here are available in both the 3.8 and 4.2 development streams.
 See the <a href="buildNotes.php">build notes</a> for details about bugs fixed and other changes.</p>
