Welcome to Eclipse Now, the EclipseSource newsletter! In this edition we bring you the Yoxos 5 beta, which includes our innovative new Launcher technology.  We've also got two great free tutorials coming this May - one on RAP and the second on OSGi. In addition to the tutorials, we are also pleased to once again be participating in the eclipse.org spring training series. As always, we're looking forward to hearing from you!

The EclipseSource Team

Download the new Yoxos 5 beta

Yoxos 5 is a completely new way to work with Eclipse. Instead of starting Eclipse and selecting the workspace you want to work with, you can now start a workspace and the associated tool configuration is automatically launched.

With Yoxos 5, workspace provisioning means sharing Team project sets, Preferences, Mylyn, Checkstyle and other configurations with your team - and getting notifications if they are changed. Workspace provisioning will get you started on a new projects in minutes - just launch the .yoxos file and watch the sources defined in the Team project set coming in.  Find out how you can experience the new productivity.
