The second milestone release (M2) of MyEclipse 5.0 is now available for
immediate installation through the "Development Releases" section of
the downloads area of the MyEclipse website. Windows, Linux, and Mac
OSX support is available. MyEclipse is a an affordable Integrated Development Environment based on the Eclipse
platform, focusing primarily on improving productivity by simplifying
development lifecycle in the delivery of UML, Web, J2EE, XML, JSP , JSF,
Struts, Hibernate and database applications.
MyEclipse
5.0 M2 is the first IDE compatible with Eclipse 3.2 and accompanying
Callisto project offerings. Eclipse 3.2 SDK is required for
installation of MyEclipse 5.0M2. All additional
Callisto-compatible projects that are required by MyEclipse are part of
the company's distribution. As a result, the recommended installation
order is Eclipse 3.2 SDK, MyEclipse 5.0M2, and then any additional
Callisto-compatible projects / products.
The 5.0M2 release includes major enhancements and bug fixes for the MyEclipse environment, including:
* Full compatibility with Eclipse 3.2 and Callisto projects * Matisse4MyEclipse integration into MyEclipse (now with full support for Linux) * Web Service support, including: - Project and project creation wizard - Customizable library containers - New Web Services Wizard - Deploy web-service web-app - Services .xml file editor - Java editor with JSR-181 annotation support and code-assist - WSDL editor - Web Services Explorer - Java hot-swap debug support & MyEclipse hot-sync web resource support for web services application -
Quick-start documentation and example projects - will demo how to hook
into MyEclipse database, Hibernate and Spring features for RAD
experience * Cross-platform Visual HTML Editor (Windows & Linux supported) * Expanded database support for MS SQL Server and Sybase * Enhanced Hibernate 3.1.X and Spring 2.X support (M3/GA release) * AJAX / Web 2.0 tool extensions (now available on Linux and Mac) *
Full I18N support for internationalization and localized support
(target languages after the 5.0 GA release will include Japanese,

Notably, the
MyEclipse 5.0M2 release integrates the popular Matisse4MyEclipse Swing
UI designer directly into MyEclipse, enabling developers to
easily build sophisticated graphical user interfaces for their
applications. Though Matisse4MyEclipse is now supported on Linux, Mac
users will be unable to utilize the Matisse4MyEclipse, MyUML, and
MyEclipse Image Editor functions due to the long-standing Eclipse
SWT_AWT bug #145890.
The GA release of MyEclipse 5.0 is expected in early August. Download of the second milestone release is available at http://www.myeclipseide.com/.
