Re: [ide-dev] Dropping the release names (Neon, Oxygen) from user downloads

+1 for switching to release year for the "official" name and use the nickname only internal. Similar to Ubuntu 16.04 or 15.10, they still have nicknames but I don't know them

Hi all,

+1 to ditching the codenames and switching to release year. 

Doug, What about Eclipse 2016SR3 or something to that effect. Then it cannot be confused with a date.
