I went to the Eclipse website yesterday, to download the latest version (the JEE edition, if I have to be exact). I went to Enterprise Java –> Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers and the download started successfully, but I noticed that the file, that was being downloaded is old (not from the latest, Helios release). Thank God they put the release in the file name. I went to Downloads and managed to get the correct, latest version from there.
I wondered, however, what could be done to resolve the problem with the erroneous link. I remembered, that the Eclipse community maintains an issue-tracking system, Bugzilla. I went there and filed a new bug report, 329827. Within about 15 minutes, the problem was resolved (see the timestamp difference between the first and the next to the last comment in the bug report).
Now, if you think about it, I could have done nothing. Not only that, but I could have grumbled around what idiots the guys at Eclipse are and how their site sucks big time and the links don’t work. I pushed myself though, and did something else.
I’ll leave it up to you to deside which approach is better.
