Re: [ide-dev] Highlights for 2020-12 landing page

[Holger Voormann <eclipse@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Lakshmi,

Thanks for sharing.


In my view, the top 5 of the 2020-12 release:

1. Built-in Java 15 support ("built-in" since in 2020-09 Java 15 was 
already available via the Marketplace; if I understand it correctly, 
when using Maven or Gradle, JUnit 5.7 behaves in 2020-12 exactly the 
same as it did in 2020-09)

2. Java 15 included: the two most popular IDE packages, "Eclipse IDE for 
Java Developers" and "Eclipse IDE for Enterprise Java Developers", are 
shipped with Java 15 now (thanks to JustJ)

3. New IDE package: "Eclipse IDE for Embedded C/C++ Developers" 
targeting ARM and RISC-V (this increases the total number of provided 
IDE packages to 14)

4. Java IDE with 25 new clean-up functions (can be automatically applied 
on save as so-called "Save Actions" or manually on one or more source files)

5. New "System" theme for Windows, Linux and macOS which is not enabled 
by default and improved "Light" theme for macOS


I am currently working on my next Eclipse Java IDE improvements video. 
Please tell me if I have something missed or wrong:
