http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/stable/mars/core/reddeer/0.8.0/

RedDeer 0.8 supports Eclipse Mars (EE). This version is mainly about architecture improvements, related re-factoring and lot of bug fixes. In terms of these changes lots of underlying functionality went into o.j.r.common and mainly to o.j.r.core plugin. This helped us to keep architecture cleaner and to avoid cross dependency issues we have faced. Still you can also find multiple API and tooling features and enhancements in this release, for example:

You can also find some new features/API like:

• Utility Project Wizard
• Property Dialog
• Log Parser
• RedDeer Spy View
• User Profile support

Now when you're creating test plugin you can simply add o.j.r.go dependency and start coding
