[ANN] Downloads and Hudson builds for the Scala IDE for Eclipse

Starting today, builds of the Scala IDE for Eclipse will be available
from its new download site at,

http://download.scala-ide.org/

More details here,

http://www.scala-ide.org/2010/06/downloads-and-hudson-builds-for-the-sca...

but in summary ...

Currently the project is providing builds in two flavours,

1. The Scala IDE git master with the Scala toolchain 2.8.0.RC3

This build is recommended for most users: it include the latest
developments in the Eclipse tooling combined with the most stable
current release from the 2.8.0 branch of the Scala toolchain.

2. The Scala IDE git master with the Scala toolchain trunk

This build is for users who want to follow development of both
the Eclipse tooling and the main Scala toolchain closely.

Eclipse update sites are available for both builds, and for user who
have difficulties using updates sites (eg. because of firewall issues)
downloadable local update sites are also available ... see
http://download.scala-ide.org/ for details.

These builds are being created by Scala IDE's Hudson,

http://hudson.scala-ide.org/

which is orchestrating build jobs on Amazon EC2.

The collection of builds being provided will change over time. Once
the Scala toolchain 2.8.0.final release is out along with the first
full release of the Scala IDE, the project will provide the following
builds,

* Scala IDE release/Scala toolchain 2.8.0.final
* Scala IDE release/Scala toolchain trunk
* Scala IDE master/Scala toolchain 2.8.0.final
* Scala IDE master/Scala toolchain trunk
* Scala IDE release/Scala Incubator master

The default update site provided via http://www.scala-ide.org/ always
points to the build recommended for the majority of users (currently
this is master/2.8.0.RC3) and will be updated as release builds become
available.

These permutations should meet the needs of most users of the Eclipse
tooling and I'm keen for suggestions for and collaborations on other
builds (eg. Fresh Scala, Scala Greenhouse) ... please contact me
directly if you have ideas or proposals.

Cheers,

Miles
