Eclipse 3.8.2

Eclipse 3.8 provides bugfixes for Indigo & adds Java 7 support, but is not a 'packaged distribution' release, and will not be maintained after 4.3 "Kepler" is released. Features and plugins equivalent to a packaged distribution may be added from within the IDE http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eclipse_%28software%29.
