This afternoon I took a look at the new version of Eclipse. This is the IDE (software editor) that we are using at Chess, and a few days ago a new version, 3.0, has been released.

I have already worked with beta-versions of 3.0, so-called milestone releases, so I knew what to expect. Still, it is pleasant that there is an official new release, because they usually more stable and mature. This means they are usable as project-standard; I'll introduce it in a new project that starts after my holiday.

Some features that I personally like a lot are code folding, background processing, "create constructor from fields" and the fact that refactoring now also fully takes JavaDoc tags into account.
