Hi,
I use 3.2.1 everyday for Java development and it is solid
as a rock. Never any problems.
Should I upgrade to 3.4? What's the difference between
the two? And what is Mylyn?
I don't do Java Enterprise but I would like the JavaScript
IDE. Do I have to get the full Java EE release of Eclipse
or can I just add the JavaScript Plugin to the IDE for Java
Developers.
The Eclipse website is so big and it's hard to get small
answers.

Thanks Walter,
If 3.4 is more solid that 3.2 it must be really, really good
'cause I aint had no problems with 3.2.
I tried to download a custom configuration from Yoxos. I could
specify exactly what I wanted eg. the JavaScript IDE but couldn't
make Yoxos start the download. THERE'S NO DOWNLOAD BUTTON !!!
I'm ready to go to 3.4 based on what you said and my own
curiosity...

Never mind about Yoxos, my browser was choking on

minimalist version of 3.4.
Thanks...

Yes, thank you. I was able to configure a minimal version
of Eclipse 3.4 and download it from Yoxos. I chose not
to include Mylyn.
