Description Dani Megert CLA 2013-05-07 06:17:39 EDT
Copy all M1-M7 New and Noteworthy items [1] into their corresponding component N&N:
/org.eclipse.platform.doc.user/whatsNew/platform_whatsnew.html
/org.eclipse.pde.doc.user/whatsNew/pde_whatsnew.html
/org.eclipse.jdt.doc.user/whatsNew/jdt_whatsnew.html

Comment 2 Dani Megert CLA 2013-05-07 06:19:38 EDT
Manju, please make this available by May 10, EOD. Thanks.
Comment 3 Markus Keller CLA 2013-05-07 09:32:26 EDT
There's a 4th component N&N for API and other infrastructure changes in the platform that are only interesting for plug-in developers who extend the platform, but not for all users of Eclipse-based products:

/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/whatsNew/platform_isv_whatsnew.html

ISV entries for JDT and PDE go into the respective *.doc.user/whatsNew/


The old contents of the whatsNew folders can be dropped, but the general structure of the *_whatsnew.html files should be retained (headers, formatting).

Caveats:
- make sure you also distribute all images into the right whatsNew/images/ folder
- sometimes, image names or "id" attributes from different milestone N&Ns clash. Make sure you don't lose/overwrite images in this case and resolve the conflicts by renaming the duplicates before you add them to the combined whatsnew.

Released the initial Kepler What's New document for JDT, Platform and PDE as:
http://git.eclipse.org/c/platform/eclipse.platform.common.git/commit/?id=b31f31de23d1fdd643f0256464a5496c80ac79d8

Features mentioned in M1 - M7 of JDT, Platform and PDE are put in their corresponding *.doc.user/whatsNew/*_whatsnew.html. The features are not grouped. Validated the files using XML validator.

Markus, for updating the Platform and JDT isv document where should i fetch the data from? This part is still pending.
