Other business

Clarification: Java 6 "recommended", not "required". See target environments for details. (i.e. minimum possible BREE always recommended, and for Indigo a maximum BREE of 1.5 is preferred ... unless component/committers have a reason to use 1.6). Questions, issues?
EclipseCon feedback? Share experiences?
Discuss 2012 release train ("Juno") primarily targeting 4.2 release, 3.8 release also maintained, but secondary. 'Primary' means built and tested against 4.2 (with compatibility layer), and EPP packages use (only) the 4.2 workbench. We in WTP would still want to maintain one code stream, that is, not exploit new API only in 4.2, right? 3.8 would be tested/maintained as much as desired. See the Platform's position statement for more of their perspective. Suggestions? Assumptions?
