Announcements And Special Reports
- Please test EPP JEE Package, if you are able.
- We (PMC) have decided to not to advocate a "3.0.6" maintenance release, though we are sure there will be some patches required post 3.0.5.
- We (PMC) and the Eclipse Planning Council have decided to have a more uniform look to the Provider information in the about box. We do not have to do any mass changes to all the plugins and all features, but any "branding" features (those that show up in the about box) should use common branding; same icon and same Provider name: "Eclipse Web Tools Platform". See bug 273772 for new icons, etc.
- This will likely be done by during RC2 and RC3 unless anyone objects.
- One implications is that our current "branding" plugins of "o.e.wst" and "o.e.jst" will be going away.
- Another is that our "assembly features" will be changing. These are the container features, o.e.wst and o.e.jst.
Konstantin recommended that ALL features point to a branding plugin, so users can more easily see that's installed, what's not. (Or, put another way, the about box list is not very user friendly). I think that'd might take more review than we may have time for, and there has been improvements in 3.5 we should see, and want to avoid too much last minute churn. Immediate conclusion is that current ones that specify branding will be changed to be consistent.

Reference:
Angel pointed out the target environments link was wrong (pointing to 3.4). The correct one is http://www.eclipse.org/projects/project-plan.php?projectid=eclipse#target_environments and Raghu agreed to update our plan document.
