Eclipse 3.0 by the numbers

�There are three kinds of lies: lies, damn lies, and statistics.�
� Benjamin Disraeli

As the critics circle in to deliver their judgements and the 35 eclipse.org mirrors
are brought to their knees by a deluge of downloads, it is time to sit back and
reflect on the past fifteen months of development. The following statistics are
an attempt to throw a light-hearted spin on the challenges and accomplishments
the Eclipse SDK teams have faced during this longest of all Eclipse release cycles.
All figures are for the Eclipse 3.0 development period only, from March 28, 2003, until
June 28, 2004, and cover only the Eclipse SDK components (Platform, JDT, and PDE).
Figures on the Eclipse source code refer to the deployed SDK code, excluding all test
and example code.
