An annual release of Eclipse is coming soon! The release includes
21 projects.

Eclipse is the leading platform for tools I think, but sometimes it seems too heavyweight to me. Lately I tried to download all the Eclipse projects and while running the Eclipse instance I was getting OutOfMemoryError all the time. It seems that for every programming purpose I should have a separate Eclipse instance to avoid the memory problems: one instance for JEE development, one - for BIRT reporting, one - with CDT installed. In other words keep the configuration of current instance minimal.
