Planning

Themes

• improve Java EE 6 support

• e4 (Eclipse 4.1) tolerance (no exploitation of non compatible function planned)

• Objective is to work with both Platform 3.7 and 4.1 (with only one set of compiled code ... compiled against 3.7)

See briefest Eclipse 4.0 intro. One thing I forgot there, was a pointer to e4-dev mailing list ... that's were Eclipse 4.0 builds are currently discussed, announced (in addition to e4-only topics).

Other Candidate Themes?

Anyone interested in these? Resources available? Do they cross projects, or just enhancement to one or two?

• Maven enablement support (at least make more friendly for maven users, if not direct support)
• OSGi enterprise support
• Any items from "top 10" list of problems to focus on. deadlocks? performance? modularity? api? test coverage?
• ... ?

Schedule

8/13 WTP M1 (and first declared build)

9/24 WTP M2 (technically contribute to Indigo on Tuesday, +2 day)

Other business

• Rob's query to wtp-dev? Server Tools question or Module Core question?
