There are reported usability problems which makes it impossible to use the
tool, see https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=158525.

Releng has an open bug regarding the lack of current information in the
build notes for many components that contribute to the SDK.

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=142909

Recently, it was updated with the following comment that I thought I would
pass on to the team.

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=142909#c3


### A friendly reminder about current state ###

I was trying to understand which changes are in the latest 3.2.2
maintenance
and 3.3M4 builds, and still see the problems described above.

I'm responsible to decide which Eclipse build should be considered as
"default"
for development and deployed in the lab or for customers and it is
impossible
or very hard to decide because of incomplete build notes.

It is also very hard to evangelize new Eclipse builds without reliable
arguments (especially in the company with strict quality policy)...

Please please, spread the importance of good build notes to the teams which
are
still not following excellent example of jdt.core team (I *love* their
build
notes!!!).


Since M2, the releng tool includes a checkbox to update your build notes
when you update your map files so it's very a painless process :-)

See the "Releng Tools" section of the 3.3M2 Release notes for more
information
