The Eclipse Foundation on Wednesday unveiled a release candidate for its Callisto project, which combines 10 technologies into a single release.
The release candidate has all the features of the full platform, but bug fixes are expected between now and the general release planned for June.
"The goal of the Callisto Simultaneous Release is to release 10 major Eclipse projects at the same time," Eclipse said on its Web site. "We are doing this simultaneous release to support the needs of the ecosystem members who integrate Eclipse frameworks into their own software and products."
"Callisto's goal is to eliminate uncertainity about project version numbers, and thus to allow ecosystem members to start their own integration, cross-project, and cross-product testing efforts earlier," Eclipse said.
Each technology in Callisto currently requires a separate download. The Callisto page on Eclipse.com is here.
Included in Callisto are:
* Business Intelligence and Reporting Tools Project.
* C/C++ IDE.
* Data Tools Platform.
* Eclipse Modeling Framework.
* Graphical Tool Framework.
* Graphical Modeling Framework.
* Eclipse Project.
* Eclipse Test and Performance Tools Platform Project.
* Eclipse Web Tools Platform Project.
* Visual Editor Project.
