Just a reminder to all you folks out there that today is the last day for EclipseCon 2008 early registrations. EclipseCon 2008 is shaping up to be the best EclipseCon ever.

The Usage Data Collector ( UDC) is included in the Eclipse Packaging Project’s ( EPP) “Eclipse IDE for…” packages for the Ganymede M4. More specifically, they are included the packages marked “UDC”. You can find them here. The UDC is included in all the M5 packages. Nightly builds of M5...

A lot more of you are participating with the Usage Data Collector (UDC). We’ve tried to make it very robust, and as low impact on your experience with Eclipse as possible. That said, it’s hard to get things exactly right, so please report a bug if you run into problems...

Recently more members of the community have picked up the EPP builds that...
