I'm not sure if this is the correct forum, but here it goes: How come
the WinXP builds of Eclipse usually show build problems while the other
versions don't?

Is it safe to use the WinXP builds or are they unstable?

Thanks.

For most builds most of the specific component committers will comment on
the build problems on the eclipse.dev mailing list.
You should subscribe to stay current and check the archive for previous
issues.

I have read the problems, but don't have an indepth knowledge of the
Eclipse code, so most of them are just Exceptions I don't understand.

I've just noticed that the nightly WinXP builds rarely have a green
check beside them, but I was wondering if it's safe to grab the builds
anyway.

The reason I haven't used the M builds (which always pass for WinXP) is
because the last 2 have had serious bugs that make them unusable for me.
M4 can't be used with Linked Resources which I use heavily, so it's not
really a usable build for me. Supposedly that problem was quickly fixed
in a nightly build, but unfortunately, none of the new nightly builds
has passed for WinXP.

Nightly builds will be rare to work.
Integration builds (once a week, usually on Tuesdays) almost always
work...and are the builds that most of the Eclipse committers use for
Eclipse development.
