Here is a mix of bug fixes and performance improvements. The most
important ones are that the history panel now shows the right
history (yea, I'm an SWT/JFace n00b so there may be more suble bugs
there). Actually, now that I come to think of it; the rows in the
history window sometimes get the wrong height. The workaround is
to press ALT-F4 and then cancel.
The other big thing is that Eclipse now caches commits so browsing
the resorces updates the history view immediately instead of an
annoying second or two later, provided the Link with Editor button
is pushed.
As for JDK, I recommend JDK 1.5.11 or JDK 1.6 for running because
of improvements and bug fixes made by Sun wrt GC and memory mapping.
