I'm just going to be short and to the point, I find the new download page for eclipse really confusing and i might not be the only one.

The compare page uses different names than the download page, so it's impossible to know which one i should download... I just want one bundle that has it all but it seems complicated to find. It would help if at least those 2 pages used the same names for the packages.

Hope the feedback was helpful and not too much of a rant.

The titles of the columns on the compare packages page doesnt lend itself to having really long names in the columns.  Those headers are linked to the package that corresponds to the download.   Click the header link and you have the package. 

Closing as WONTFIX

How about we add hovers with the full package name?
Comment 3 Denis Roy CLA 2010-11-15 16:35:53 EST
I expect to see more and more of this type of feedback as we add more and more packages to the download page.

I think its likely that I tackle the compare page in a whole new way with this years release train.
Comment 5 Nathan Gervais CLA 2011-04-07 10:02:03 EDT
The compare page in general needs love,  I'll make sure this is address in this year's compare page.

Is this still a bug?

For the Juno release I got a +1 from every package owner regarding the information on the compare package page.
