Subject: Eclipse 3.5M5 - The future is Cocoa

I just noticed a new milestone of Eclipse 3.5 which includes the port of SWT to the Cocoa framework:

<http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/S-3.5M5-200902021535/index.php >

The 'new and noteworthy' document has this to say:

The future is Cocoa

The Cocoa port of SWT is nearing completion and we have removed the **early access** warning from the download page. Cocoa is feature complete, and is the future of Eclipse on the Mac. Please download Cocoa builds and enter bug reports.

The download is offered in 32 and 64 bit versions. I was able to run the 64 bit version using Java 6 by adding the following lines to the eclipse.ini file:


-vm
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6.0/Home/bin/ java

I performed a few simple tests and it seems a lot less 'rough around the edges' as previous milestones. Kudos to everyone involved! The speed at which this as gone from concept to reality is truly impressive. Cocoa SWT should go a long way towards keeping Mac OS X a viable platform for Java development.
