>+<h1>Eclipse JDT 3.3 Plug-in Migration Guide</h1>
>+<p>This guide covers migrating Eclipse JDT 3.2 (or earlier) plug-ins to Eclipse JDT 3.3.</p>
>+<p>One of the goals of Eclipse 3.3 was to move Eclipse forward while remaining compatible 
>+  with previous versions to the greatest extent possible. That is, plug-ins written 
>+  against the Eclipse 3.2 APIs should continue to work in 3.3 in spite of the 
>+  API changes.</p>
>+<p>The key kinds of compatibility are API contract compatibility and binary compatibility. 
>+  API contract compatibility means that valid use of 3.2 APIs remains valid for 
>+  3.3, so there is no need to revisit working code. Binary compatibility means 
>+  that the API method signatures, etc. did not change in ways that would cause 
>+  existing compiled (&quot;binary&quot;) code to no longer link and run with the 
>+  new 3.3 libraries.</p>
>+<p>While every effort way made to avoid breakage, there are a few areas of incompatibility. 
>+  This document describes the areas where Eclipse changed in incompatible ways 
>+  between 3.2 and 3.3, and provides instructions for migrating 3.2 plug-ins to 
>+  3.3.</p>
