Eclipse 3.1M7 is here!

Eclipse 3.1 Milestone 7 (3.1M7) has been released. This new version shows an impressive improvement in term of the JDT performance.

Performance has been improved across JDT Core. As an example, launching a workspace containing all Eclipse SDK sources used to take close to 2 minutes in 3.1 M6. It now takes under 10 seconds.

In the PDE, OSGi bundle manifest.mf file is now enabled by default to tap into the advantages of the framework, speed and management. With the cross platform product export, you can now build and export your product for multiple platforms at the same time via the Eclipse Product export wizard (File > Export > Eclipse Product), as long as you have the RCP delta pack installed.

I find that the Intro page with the help system topics to be something nice, I like the look of it.
