A week after releasing its Callisto project, the Eclipse Foundation has had 221,900 downloads of the new Eclipse IDE released as part of the effort.

Callisto featured the release of 10 sets of open source Eclipse technologies for download all on the same day, June 30. Although the organization does not have download figures for all of the projects, Eclipse did register 221,900 downloads for Eclipse 3.2, which features the new IDE, as of 2 p.m. EST on Friday.

Eclipse had 1 million downloads of its previous IDE in the first 40 days of its release, which occurred in June 2005.
