Somehow I missed the release of M6 till now. Check out all the new and noteworthy features here. The interesting thing is there are experimenting with a new look and feel for Eclipse. Click on the thumbnail for a bigger image.

The new UI is not very pretty but has a few nice features like floating panes. Hope they polish up the colors a bit. :)

To get the new UI working you have to follow the following instructions also check out the bug report:
