I am a java beginner so i want some information about this distribution
1- I found in Sun microsystem JDK 6 and this distribution contain JDK 1.5.0.09-01 it’s very old why you did’t use the latest JDK - JDK6]
2- Can i build plugins for eclipse with this distribution
Hi BsM
I can only answer to the ‘1-’ item =)
Java/JDK version 1.5+ it’s also called Java 5, so it’s as old as it seems.
For more info take a look at http://java.sun.com

[…] EasyEclipse is a distribution of Eclipse like Ubuntu is to Linux. They have different packages of open-source plugins targeted to specific development needs. For example, they have Desktop Java, Server Java, and Mobile Java distributions. I’ve used various EasyEclipse distributions in the past and I’ve found them easy to install and rock solid. I suppose the only thing I don’t care for is that lately they don’t seem to be keeping up with the latest versions of Eclipse or the bundled plugins. But if you’re don’t care about being on the latest greatest then that might not matter to you. […]
[…] Program Editor Program editor yang akan kita gunakan adalah Eclipse. Eclipse adalahframework IDE untuk berbagai keperluan. Default-nya memang untuk menulis program Java. Untuk menginstallnya, bang Andi menyarankan untuk mendownload paket software dari www.easyeclipse.org saja, walaupun Ubuntu juga menyediakan paket Eclipse yang bisa didapat dengan apt-get. Paket dari situs tersebut dibuat untuk kemudahan penggunaan. […]
Thanks for making Eclipse easy to start programming in minutes. I just want to report what I found from Google: the official Eclipse 3.3.2 maintenance release is probably due to occur around February 2008. I’ll be waiting for it to show up in EasyEclipse before I migrate from 1.2.2 to 1.3.x
Thanks for this lovely package.
As a first-time user the amount of plugins available for Eclipse was definitely intimidating; to say the least. Now I get to try out Eclipse with all the cool plugins already included. 
Woot woot!
This is great. I spent hours trying to figure out the best way to install visual editor on Eclipse 3.3 so I could give my project partners a step-by-step instruction. Now I only need to tell them to go to this site.
