nWire Software joins the Eclipse foundation

Today we have a big announcement: nWire Software joins the Eclipse foundation. You can read the full press release here. This is our way of showing commitment and support to the Eclipse community. We have been active members of the community for a long time and we are very pleased to finally make this step.

There are benefits for our users as well. First, we will be mirroring full Eclipse downloads on our site. The downloads are served using a very fast CDN based on Limelight infrastructure. Try it yourself, it is FAST. We are hosting all the popular downloads for Helios (Eclipse 3.6) and Galileo (Eclipse 3.5). Plus, you can choose to add nWire to the prepackaged download. This will save you the trouble of installing nWire later.

But that’s not all. Helios has a new snazzy Eclipse Marketplace client. It makes finding plugins and installing them so much easier. Now that we are Eclipse members, you can find and install nWire directly from the Eclipse Market place dialog box. It is simple and works great. To get started, select Help → Eclipse Marketplace...
