Eclipse Final release was done about one month AFTER final Fremantle 5.0 SDK and N900 releases.

Beta 3 and Beta 4 releases are not public in that sense that they are not announced officially. Both releases will be available from Garage projects and maemo repositories and Beta 4 release will make a baseline for first Release Candidate
-
'''Notice''' especially that Final release replaced old Eclipse Integration 1st Edition release and all 2nd Edition prereleases meaning that support for those releases was discontinued and deliverables and documentation were removed.  
+
Eclipse Integration components now support the latest Debian based Linuxes, Windows XP SP3, Windows Vista SP1 and Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard all with x86/32bit architectures.

Eclipse Integration components now support the latest Debian based Linuxes, Windows XP with SP3, Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard and Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard with x86/32bit architectures. Support for Windows 7 and Windows Vista with SP2 is only at beta level because their support is based on Cygwin 1.7 which has only beta version available.
+
Support for other than above listed operating systems has not been tested but should be possible if it supports Eclipse IDE, if similar functionality to Host PC Connectivity is available for that operating system (for example most Linuxes should have that) and if chosen operating system is able to run Maemo SDK Virtual Image (in practice supports either QEmu, VMWare or VirtualBox).
