Has anyone tried Eclipse or Eclipse-based apps on Mac OS X Lion preview? Are there any issues? Do you have to download Java first. Do RCP apps work OK?

There are a few bugs logged by users with a Lion preview release from a few
months ago. These will be investigated when the OS X 10.7 release comes out
in the summer. The current list is:

Thanks for the info.

A quick test with Lion DP3 reveals that there are going to be a few SWT issues to resolve. Basically, any Eclipse-based app is not going to work out of the box on Lion when it comes out. Isn't this the point of previews? So issues can be resolved in advance?
