This distro contains the basic elements needed to work on Eclipse Plugins, either developing new ones or debuggin/editing existing ones. Over time, we will add more to it (releng, RCP DeltaPack), but for now it is relatively light - when you are a warrior, you pack lightly ;-).

Note that in a Beta release, some plugins have not yet been tested. The plugins that have been tested are marked with a "Checkbox" sign.
