 			<p><i>Mars release now available for download</i></p>
 			<p><b>Ottawa, Canada - June 24, 2015</b> - The Eclipse Foundation is proud to announce the availability of the Mars release,
 				the annual Eclipse release train. This is the tenth year the Eclipse community has shipped a coordinated release of
 				multiple Eclipse projects. The Mars release represents the work of 79 different open source projects, 65 million lines
 				of code and involved 380 Eclipse committers.</p>
 			<p>Ten years of shipping coordinated release trains, which were all on time to the day, is a great accomplishment by the Eclipse community,"
 				explains Mike Milinkovich, Executive Director of the Eclipse Foundation. "This predictable release schedule has been a huge benefit to
 				our community and ecosystem, and has encouraged widespread adoption of Eclipse technology."</p>

 			<h2>Key Highlights of Mars Release</h2>
 				<ul>
 					<li>Java developers can take advantage of new features in the Eclipse IDE, including new Quick Fixes for Java 8, a hierarchical presentation
 				for nested projects in the Project Explorer, the ability to customize perspectives, and speed improvements for text search.</li>
 					<li>The <a href="https://wiki.eclipse.org/Linux_Tools_Project/Docker_Tooling/User_Guide">Linux Tools</a> project now includes integrated tools that allow Eclipse users to build and manage Docker containers/images.</li>
 					<li>A new project, called <a href="https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/tools.oomph">Oomph</a>, makes it significantly easier to install
 				an Eclipse IDE and to provision a project-specific Eclipse workspace. Oomph also makes it possible to record and share user preference settings across workspaces.</li>
 					<li>Eclipse users will now be able to benefit from first-class Gradle support inside the Eclipse IDE. The new project, <a href="https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/tools.buildship">Buildship</a>, makes it
 				possible for developers to set up, configure, and initiate Gradle builds from Eclipse.</li>
 					<li>Improved <a href="https://www.eclipse.org/m2e/">Maven support</a> makes it easier for developers to use Maven from Eclipse. The new release includes support for Maven 3.3.3,
 				improved Maven archetypes integration, enhanced auto-completion in the pom editor, and experimental support for automatic configuration updates.</li>
 					<li><a href="https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/modeling.sirius">Sirius 3.0</a> introduces new usability features to help users create diagrams, significant performance gains for large models, and
 				improvements to the query language that makes it easier to write and validate expressions.</li>
 					<li>The <a href="https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/technology.jubula">Jubula</a> project has released a Client API that allows developers to create test cases in Java. This allows Java developers to
 				develop and maintain test cases in Eclipse and store those test cases in code repositories, such as Git.</li>
 					<li>In an effort to improve the quality of all Eclipse projects, a new <a href="https://dev.eclipse.org/recommenders/community/confess/#/about">automated error reporting feature</a> has been added to the Eclipse
 				packages. If an error occurs in Eclipse, the user will be prompted to automatically send an error report to the appropriate Eclipse project team.</li>
 					<li>An early access version of the <a href="http://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/eclipse-java%E2%84%A2-9-support-beta-mars">Java<sup>TM</sup> 9 support</a> in Eclipse is available on the Eclipse Marketplace. This will allow
 				Eclipse users to use Java 9 in the Eclipse IDE.</li>
 				</ul>

 			<p>The Mars release is the tenth year the Eclipse community has shipped a release train. The full list of release trains includes:</p>
 				<ul>
 					<li>Mars, June 24, 2015</li>
 					<li>Luna, June 25, 2014</li>
 					<li>Kepler, June 26, 2013</li>
 					<li>Juno, June 27, 2012</li>
 					<li>Indigo, June 22, 2011</li>
 					<li>Helios, June 23, 2010</li>
 					<li>Galileo, June 24, 2009</li>
 					<li>Ganymede, June 25, 2008</li>
 					<li>Europa, June 27, 2007</li>
 					<li>Callisto, June 26, 2006</li>
 				</ul>

 			<p>The Mars release is available for download today. More information about the Mars release train is available at <a href="https://www.eclipse.org/mars/">eclipse.org/mars</a></p>
