| Re: [epsilon-dev] Remove 32-bit distributions from downloads in future releases? |
Hi Sina,
Good point. 32-bit packages seem to have been dropped from
https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/ too so I'm in favour of
that.
Thanks,
Dimitris

It’s quite difficult to get a hold of 32-bit operating systems and JVM nowadays (Java 8 is basically end of life, and versions after that don’t typically have 32-bit builds), so is there any point in manually building 32-bit versions for future releases? If anything some non-technical users may end up downloading the 32-bit version, so we could just have three download buttons: Windows, macOS and Linux. Thoughts?
