Description DJ Houghton

We will continue to invest in our Java development tools, by investigating how best to address future hardware, Java language and IDE capabilties. Potential work areas include: better leverage of multi-core CPUs and/or distributed environments, better allignment with J2ME and J2EE, and increased granularity in Java search. [JDT UI, JDT Core]

Also affects JDT Text.

Other additions considered for 3.4:
- support for annotations in the JavaModel API
- more resilience across the tool stack (annotation syntax recovery, better tolerance for missing types)

Support for generating CLDC1.1 classfiles got released already (3.4m2).
Finegrain search also got released (3.4m3).

Comment 4 Jerome Lanneluc

To summarize, we now:
- support generating CLDC1.1 classfiles (bug 120223)
- support fine-grained search (bug 155013)
- support annotations in the JavaModel (bug 79112)
- leverage multi-core CPUs (bug 142126)
- have more resilience across the tool stack (bug 196653, bug 204536, bug 204534)

Marking this plan item fixed.
