These 2 projects have recently graduated from the Technology Project to the Tools Project.

We are re-designing the eclipse.org home page. The intention is to make it easier for our user community to find relevant information about the Eclipse projects and also make it easier to download.

Right now we have a beta version of the home page that will be displayed on a random basis to about 25% of the home page visitors. We have also opened a bug to collect feedback. Please let us know what you like and dislike about the home page.

Congratulations to all the winners!
