Yesterday I was in the university and I had a class for algorithms in cryptographic. The task was to implement an algorithm for encrypting an input text.
The computers in the class room have Microsoft Visual Studio installed. It was very hard for me to believe that I must use It, so I just went to eclipse.org and downloaded the eclipse for java developers. Just unzip and start. As always it worked. Just as it was. Out of the box. Without configuration or additional steps. Which is quite an achievement considering the computers in the university.
I can`t imagine that the "out of the box" experience might be broken and than I saw bug 203325.
Of course the problem is resolved and a solution was find, but it is a very interesting bug and you can really see that the community works even under pressure.
