In the “expert” Java distro I personally miss the Bytecode Outline plugin, which allows you to inspect/compare Java bytecode “on the fly” and in the latest stable beta version also to replace default classfile editor.
Will surely do: I did add a feature request here:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1647440&group_id=131065&atid=719798
I suggest the subversive for svn access instead of subclipse. Subversive was accepted as official support for svn: http://www.eclipse.org/proposals/subversive/
but that doesnt work at vista ??? what s the problem.?
lol

i got to install it 2 times in diferent directory to make fonction it
Perfect distro with leaks in maven 2 support (whats about the codehaus plugin @ http://m2eclipse.codehaus.org/ )
You can add it to your installed distro in a few clicks, from here.

I _really_ like the “implementations” ( not sure of the exact name ). A plugin to find implementations of methods. Very useful if your project references alot of stuff via interfaces/abstract classes

[…] A distribuição EasyEclipse ainda não disponibilizou o pacote mais completo EasyEclipse Server Java na versão 1.3 (Europa 3.3), mas já atualizou boa parte dos plugins componentes desta distribuição. Por enquanto, você pode instalar a distribuição EasyEclipse Expert Java 1.3 e depois baixar os plugins para Java EE atualizados, em especial Eclipse J2EE tools e Eclipse Web tools editors. […]
[…] The Eclipse model works very like Linux. You have a base, compatible system which can be easily extended, but if like to have more comfort, you should rely on distributions. And Eclipse is working in similar manner. There are already many Eclipse distributions (Yoxos, Codegear, Easyeclipse, Myeclipse) which provide a compatible set of plugins, which can be used for a certain purpose and safe a lot of installation time. However the chances are high, that there will be some fraction moving a project created from one distro to another (Just like porting one linux application between different distros), and you are already somehow dependent on the distros as well.
