Eclipse 3.4 M6 - New and Noteworthy

Yeah!,.. A new milestone of Ganymede, the next version of Eclipse. Looking the new and noteworthy I noticed a lot of new cool features:

  • Equinox Provisioning Platform (p2), an interesting improvement in the way you install Eclipse :D
  • Content type-specific file icons, I wanted this feature for a long time :D
  • Multiple hyperlink presenter, this is my favorite new feature!

I was trying to use a Content Assistant or maybe a dialog for handling multi-hyperlinks. I needed to support multi-hyperlink for bug #197991. So this new feature came in the precise moment! and after playing with MultiHyperlinkPresenter, I got this:

It's really cool, isn't it?. When you Ctrl + click hover a text like "bug #197991" in the chat room view, you can choose between all the repositories (configured in mylyn) to open a browser with the bug report. If other hyperlinks are related with that text, you'll also see them (e.g. open a new channel because of #197991).
