Eclipse 4.7 Platform News
summary
Release notes cover concrete changes: new Java index (Google work aims to speed Java operations dramatically for huge workspaces — Google tests with ~50 million classes), a generic editor that needs ~6 lines of XML plus ~20 lines of keywords for syntax highlighting and adds TextMate and planned LSP support, background work moved to run by default with 16 ms batching and cancellable jobs, UI tweaks (dark theme styling, dialog relabeling), and a Wayland SWT port that runs in the browser.
