Buckminster is made available in two major types of packaging:

• Eclipse Update Site for regular use inside the Eclipse IDE

  There are several features available. They are categorized into 'core' and 'optional'. Please note that you are expected to make a choice of what optional categories you need. Do not select all of them. Buckminsters support for Subversive and Subclipse in particular should be considered as mutually exclusive to one another.

  • The Buckminster update site for Eclipse 3.4.x can be found at http://download.eclipse.org/tools/buckminster/updates. Please note that this link is intended for the Eclipse Update Manager, not for browsing.

    If you wish you can to instead download the entire site here: buckminster.archivedsite-1.1.0.r09443.zip.

    A stable version of Buckminster can also be found on the Ganymede Discovery Site (normally listed in your Update Manager). The update frequency for Ganymede (and likely also for the coming simultaneous release) is 3 times per year so we recommend that you always use the Buckminster site to check for updates.

  • The Buckminster update site for Eclipse 3.3.x can be found at http://download.eclipse.org/tools/buckminster/updates-3.3. Please note that this link is intended for the Eclipse Update Manager, not for browsing.

    If you wish you can to instead download the entire site here: buckminster.archivedsite-1.0.0.r09356.zip.

• Headless Product application based on the Eclipse Runtime. This product is aimed towards those who need to use Buckminster without using a User Interface - think automated scripting. It contains only the bare minimum to get a working headless command line utility. To make it useful, you are supposed to install the features you need into it, and the result can then be shared as necessary.

  Updating the Headless Product is performed by using a headless install command that in turn will use the Eclipse Update Manager to install features. When installing Buckminster features, you must use our headless Update Site (see URL's below for 3.4 and the older 3.3). This is because the headless distribution makes some special features available that contains only a small subset of the Eclipse platform.

  • The latest available version of the Buckminster Headless Product for Eclipse 3.4.x is buckminster.product-1.1.0.r09387.zip.

    The headless update site for Eclipse 3.4.x is http://download.eclipse.org/tools/buckminster/updates/headless-site.xml

  • The latest available version of the Buckminster Headless Product for Eclipse 3.3.x is buckminster.product-1.0.0.r09309.zip.

    The headless update site for Eclipse 3.3.x is http://download.eclipse.org/tools/buckminster/updates-3.3/headless-site.xml

• The headless integrations for Subclipse and Subversion contains plug-ins has licenses which prohibits them from being redistributed from Eclipse.org. Instead, we distribute them from Cloudsmiths website. The update site can be found at http://download.cloudsmith.com/buckminster/external.
