The
http://devstudio.jboss.com/earlyaccess/ Early Access site for JBoss Developer Studio
now contains CR1 free for download and if you want the JBoss Enterprise Application
platform bundled you just need to and sign up for the early access program
http://bit.ly/jbdevstudioea here.
h3. Improvements
This release contains a few improvements over the last couple of betas that are worth
mentioning.
Most of these stems from the change we made from using the horrible dropin feature of
Eclipse to have a proper
P2 enabled Eclipse product build. This should make things like installation, startup and
updates much smoother, simpler and in some cases faster.
h3. New Directory Layout
There is no longer a seperate "eclipse" directory; everything related to JBoss
Developer Studio is now in the "studio" folder and
instead of using raw eclipse to start you now uses the jbdevstudio, jbdevstudio.exe or the
JBoss Developer Studio.app dependent on your
platform to launch.
If you have installed the EAP bundle jboss-eap still lives in <install>/jboss-eap.
h3. Runtime Detection/Setup
You can still use the "Server" page in the installer to setup JBoss server
runtimes, but all this that was previously isolated in the installer is now also available
from inside JBoss Tools under the Preferences for "JBoss Tools Runtime
Detection". Here you can configure directories to scan for runtimes and it supports
not only Server runtimes, but also standalone framework runtimes like Seam and Drools.
h3. Welcome Screen
You will also now be greeted with a new shiny Welcome Screen:

http://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/102-16422-1-...
...and of course the latest stable fixes and features from JBoss Tools 3.2.
Have fun!
