on Jun 15th, 2009Eclipse Galileo RC4 is out!
Good news, Galileo RC4 is out and available for download.
Why is this good news? Well, if we look at the Galileo calendar, Galileo GA’s next week!
If you want to get Galileo a bit faster, I highly recommend supporting Eclipse development by becoming a Friend of Eclipse. By donating a bit of money, you get access to Galileo earlier and you get access to a faster download mirror. Note that you can use this mirror for other Eclipse releases, including when Eclipse starts releasing 3.6 milestones. I personally find the mirror worth the small donation. I’m able to get my integration builds much faster than usual 
If you like to blog, the Eclipse Foundation is hosting a Galileo blog-a-thon. The rules are simple, blog about Galileo and get your choice of a ‘Friend of Eclipse’ membership, a customized t-shirt or a golf shirt. If your blog entry happens to be really good, you have a chance at winning an Eclipse jacket and a full pass to EclipseCon 2010 or Eclipse Summit Europe 2009.
If you’re into Twitter, become part of the Twitterati that are following the Galileo release!
There will also be a virtual conference entitled Galileo in Action. There will be talks about Mylyn, ECF, p2 and more!
If you want to learn more about the Galileo release, I highly suggest you register and attend.
Other than that, enjoy Galileo!

Hey Chris, you were faster than I… I just wanted to blog about the new EPP packages and their availability and found out that I am too late. Damn.
But I think we can add interesting news regarding RC4 soon. Stay tuned.
Sorry Markus
I would still love to see a blog about EPP in general and how people can take advantage of it. I think EPP is cool but not many people understand what it is and how it powers the Galileo release.
Good point… in the next blog entry (from Beyhan) we will highlight one aspect of EPP, but I will take it as an action item to write more about EPP this week.
No plan for Windows 64 EPP build ?
Since Windows Vista it’s not rare to see 64 bits OS. With Windows 7 it will be very common I think.
It always comes down to the question: Who can provide the testing that is necessary for every additional platform?
And if someone *really* needs a single build for a particular platform, he/she can always use the p2 director application, the Galileo and the EPP p2 repositories. The last repository contains all the IUs that are used to build the other packages. You only need to run a command similar to the one that is described on this wiki page: http://wiki.eclipse.org/EPP/Galileo_Packages#Local_Package_Build
Ah, You might want to edit your screen shot on all of the “followers” in twitter. There is one particular girl that really “appreciates” Galileo.
Thanks for the catch Tyler!
No one is immune to spam these days.
Hi,
Good news it is out…
But I am facing WTP server adapter installation issues, regarding epp or p2, and I am not sure how to understand the error message regarding the GlassFish adapter. Via UC, it works…

Nobody is testing end to end integration for Galileo?
If you come across integration bugs Ludovic, you can file them here.
Definitely should have a Win64 version available
