Going to Give Eclipse 3.5 (Galileo) a Try

I've been looking at Eclipse on Windows for a bit, because I have to for this one project I'm working on at work, and thinking about what it can do made me think that I've probably been a little stuffy about the IDE. I'm probably not giving it the credit it deserves. Refactoring, automatic compilation... it's probably a nice tool, and I should give it a try.

So I'm downloading the new 'Galileo' version (3.5) from the Eclipse Download site, and going to replace the older version I have. I'm not sure if it's a big difference, but it's probably something I should give a go - if for no other reason than at least trying to understand what the developers are aiming for.

Better to understand and have a working knowledge of something than to dismiss it out of hand.
