Eclipse 2.1 (plan)
is the current major release of the Eclipse Project. We plan to fix critical
"stop ship" defects in 2.1 and periodically produce 2.1.x maintenance
releases incorporating the accumulated fixes. Non-critical problems will generally
be addressed only in the next major release of Eclipse (3.0), which is the principal
focus of the Eclipse development teams.
The maintenance schedule for Eclipse 2.1 is as follows:
| Version | Release date | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 2.1.0 | March 27, 2003 | initial release (release notes) |
| 2.1.1 | June 27, 2003 | maintenance release fixing critical "stop ship" defects (release notes) |
| 2.1.2 | November 4, 2003 | maintenance release fixing critical "stop ship" defects in 2.1.1 (release notes) |
| 2.1.3 | March 17, 2004 | maintenance release fixing critical "stop ship" defects in 2.1.2 (release notes) |
Once Eclipse 3.0 ships (2Q2004; see plan), it's unlikely that there would be any call for additional 2.1.x releases.
