Eclipse Packaging Project 2.0.0

Release Date
Deliverables

Provide the download packages for the main Eclipse download page in accordance with the Eclipse Simultaneous Release.

EPP for Kepler in version 2.0.0 includes

  • a Buckminster build that generates the p2 repository with the package definitions
  • build scripts that are used in the nightly package builds
  • everything from the EPP Packages Git repository http://git.eclipse.org/c/epp/org.eclipse.epp.packages.git

The Eclipse Platform team used to add their 'SDK' build as 'Classic/SDK' package to the list of downloads to the main Eclipse download page. This package has now been replaced with a new EPP owned package maintained by members from the Eclipse Platform team. In order to reflect this change, the new package has been renamed to 'Eclipse Standard'. The old SDK remains on the Eclipse Platform download page only.

The Eclipse for Mobile Developers package has been removed on maintainers request.

Compatibility

The EPP packages require Java 1.6 or higher and are based on Eclipse 4.3.

No compatibility issues; see target environments for a detailed listing.

Components in Babel are provided but the team does not translate the strings.
