Tikal, an open source provider of application lifecycle management suites, has released Tikal Eclipse [1] , an open source Eclipse-based distribution which combines the Eclipse binaries with a broad range of Eclipse plugins for Java, J2EE, C/C++, Perl, PHP and Python.

With Tikal Eclipse, you get a quick install and update of reliable Eclipse distribution. Tikal Eclipse has a fast and easy graphical installer. We have kept the distribution installation binaries set down to one small single file, everything else is available online if you need it.

Best of all, we support ongoing upgrades via the network, from version to version. Just upgrade from each released version to the next when you want to.

Tikal Eclipse was built using Tikal Update Manager and Mirror Manager technologies for managing large scale tailor-made Eclipse distributions.
