What is Callisto?
Callisto is a coordinated release of 10 projects for Eclipse that greatly simplify the process of getting Eclipse up and going so you can do what you want to do. Callisto isn’t a different, customized version of Eclipse V3.2, nor is it a replacement of the projects included when you go to the Eclipse Callisto Discovery Site. Using the Callisto Discovery Site, it’s easy to get all the projects you need for Web or Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) development without having to search for each plug-in and install it separately because the plug-ins are sorted by the type of activity they enable. Because it makes getting Eclipse tailored to your needs a simple task, the Callisto Discovery Site is a welcome addition in Eclipse V3.2.
Callisto is a huge Jovian moon, the third largest satellite in the solar system, after Ganymede and Titan. At 4820 km in diameter, Callisto is about 40% greater in size than the Moon and only a third the size of the Earth. Callisto has a surface area of 7.30×107 km², greater than that of Asia. Callisto is one of the Galilean satellites, discovered by Galileo Galilei in 1610 with one of the earliest telscopes. Callisto’s diameter is 99% that of Mercury, but it has far less mass, due to the tremendous amount of ice it contains. Callisto is about half rock and half ice. Callisto’s surface is extremely cratered and old. The cratering on its surface has almost reached saturation — that is, every new crater must erase an old one. Its surface looks like mud being pelted by raindrops, but frozen in stone and ice. As one of the most heavily cratered bodies in the solar system alongside Mercury, Callisto does not have any major geographic features aside from those associated with impacts. There
