Eclipse 3.0 Milestone 4

As you already might have noticed, Eclipse 3.0 milestone 4 is available for download. I downloaded it on saturday, installed it and ...it crashed every two minutes. So after 30 minutes of trying I simply gave up and switched back to M3. On monday I thought, well, they can't have released M4 without noticing the problems I experience, I mean they are heavily testing a milestone before. So I decided to give M4 another try. And what should I say? It's simply working without any problems. Hmm, this is a little bit strange - but who cares :) So, what's really cool are the background tasks. Just check-out a new project from cvs and continue working while this happens in the background. Great! And my all time favorite is included: opening external files (files that are not part of any project) now works. Thank you, Eclipse Team and continue this great work! 12:23:33 PM
