Eclipse neon for mac installation

broken image

This is good as it lets you have both Mars and Neon installed as native apps. Which means it doesn’t matter what you choose because it takes you to this point. The installer says “Eclipse installer by Oomph” and gives you a choice of a number of Eclipse packages. This is my first upgrade since that Eclipse became a native Mac app. With Eclipse Mars, they switched to a tar file/Eclipse installer for Mac. Overall, there’s a lot I’m excited about in this release. I hadn’t heard of Scout which is a framework for HTML 5 among other things. Wonder how much IBM paid to have Bluemix listed second. It turns out not to matter if you choose the Java EE version or something else for the download. The list of Eclipse packages had a sponsored package in the list. The matrix comparing the packages is still clear.

The “e” and “n” lights go out after a while which I suppose is cute. went with a neon colored theme to announce the launch of Neon.
