Ganymede/For Users
This page is for consumers of the Ganymede Simultaneous Release. Testers and early adopters should find this page useful.

Early Access
Downloadable Zips
The EPP project provides
- Ganymede zip bundles for every Ganymede Milestone: EPP milestone releases
- Ganymede nightly build zip bundles based on the content of the Ganymede Staging Update Site: EPP nightly builds
Or download individual zips from the projects' download pages.
For a list of the individual project builds that make up each Ganymede milestone, see Ganymede/Signoffs.
Update Manager Sites
Depending on how close you want to be to the bleeding edge, there are three ways to get Ganymede project updates.
First, install Eclipse 3.4 (SDK or Platform Runtime Binary) from http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/. Then point your Update Manager at one of these sites:
- 1. From the project's own update site, eg., EMFT Interim Update Site
- This is usually the most up to date, but you'll need one URL per project.
- 2. Nightly updates from the Ganymede Staging Site
- Projects that have contributed new bits to the Ganymede Build will be here. This aggregates all the per-project individual sites into one place.
- 3. Milestone releases from the Ganymede Site
- Once a milestone, the latest bits in the staging site will be pushed to production.
Milestones and Release Candidates
These dates are subject to change. See Ganymede Milestones for the latest full schedule.

Communication
Eclipse projects have three communication channels: a mailing list for developers, a newsgroup for users, and Bugzilla. Ganymede, although not a "project" per se, will use the same structure:
