Does this mean I will have to shutdown the eclipse instance that was running without a glitch on my system for the last few months?

Eclipse's loading time is a little bit long but who cares if I only have to shut it down when I upgrade, or when Windows forces a reboot on me, eh?

Milestone builds of Eclipse were stable so I imagine the final release will be at least as good. 87 Megs though, that is a lot of code.

IMHO, amongst the many changes and improvements, the most noticeable feature in Eclipse 3 is RCP.
