[Biojava-dev] Cloning repositories in eclipse

[Amr AL-HOSSARY]

I use eclipse too, but I haven't migrated yet.
I prefere development, but if it would make migration a hell, then I don't
mind changing the name.
Could there be something like an alias that links master to devel ?

Same here, I got my eclipse setup to work with egit, but I thought that it
was not as easy as I would have hoped.   Let's try to keep the entry
barrier as low as possible.

This leaves the question: should we rename the devel or release branch to
master? I'd say devel, since by default this would give you the latest code
(similar to trunk checkouts in svn)
