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 [1] eclipse.platform.news/platform/4.4
In JDT 4.4 M7 N&N we have just one news that refers to Java 8 feature implementation as a whole. Shouldn't this be elaborated and have each feature explained with images? Equinox related changes and platform API changes will be moved to /org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/whatsNew/platform_isv_whatsnew.html

In platform_isv_whatsnew.html > Equinox Changes, there are 3 news titled "Equinox OSGi framework update" from different milestone releases. Should these 3 news be retained as such or can it be combined to a single news or can they have different title? Simlarly in platform_isv_whatsnew.html > Equinox Changes,there are 2 news titled "Equinox Regions update" with different content. The news titled "SWT does not work on Linux with GTK+ 3 version > 3.8.x" is present in M5 and M6, hence added only the news from M6 in the final N&N document. There could still be some news currently present in platform_whatsnew.html which can be better placed in platform_isv_whatsnew.html document. Requesting the component owner to have a look. In jdt_whatsnew.html, should we add the below as news? 1. UI Option to generate method parameter attribute in class file 2. UI for fine grain search of method reference expressions Java 8 news for compiler looks pretty empty. Is there something that can be added in this section like improvement in null analysis or APT improvements? Releasing the consolidated document till this point. http://git.eclipse.org/c/platform/eclipse.platform.common.git/commit/?id=b0ffee826ec667cc4affaa09ecfd783157c43b2c
(In reply to Manju Mathew from comment #3) > In jdt_whatsnew.html, should we add the below as news? > 1. UI Option to generate method parameter attribute in class file > 2. UI for fine grain search of method reference expressions Some more candidates related to Java 8 that can be added, if required: - Quick Assists: * Change body block to expression * Change body expression to block - New Formatter options for lambda: * Braces * Whitespace - Adornments for abstract, default, static methods of interface - Ctrl+Click on '->' or '::' to go to the functional method declaration (separated from "Hover to see the functional method") - Type Hierarchy shows lambda expressions as implementations of the functional interface - 'default' access modifier replaced with 'package' access modifier in UI
(In reply to Noopur Gupta from comment #4) > - Ctrl+Click on '->' or '::' to go to the functional method declaration This is not fully functional due to bug 429785 in JDT Core.

Tom, can you provide merged text for these?

Jay and Stephan, can you both have a look at the 'Java Compiler' section of jdt_whatsnew.html and see if we have missed any news to be added. This section looks pretty empty. Is there something that can be added in this section like improvement in null analysis or APT improvements?
Manju, I used to edit this doc, and I am happy to do a review and polish on the contents. Can you let me know when you have incorporated all the latest feedback, and then I will review it.
Updated JDT N&N with Java 8 news, Platform N&N with news provided by Arun, incorporated some of the review comments from PMC. In Platform N&N, few of the images do not adhere to the width specification of 519 pixels. Adjusting the width to 519 resulted in blurred images in the final document, hence requesting the component owners to have a look and provide better images with width 519 pixels for: images/darklinux.png images/darktheme.png images/OpenAsProject.png images/split_editors.png images/theme-association.png images/css-bridge/new-definitions.png images/css-bridge/overriding-definitions.png images/css-bridge/using-definitions.png Platform N&N "Improvements in the dark theme" => bug 433475 is reopened. Requesting the component owners to verify whether this news is still relevant and if possible combine the news "Dark theme" and "Improvements in the dark theme" to a single news. Pending tasks: 1. Java Compiler news 2. Debug news Released the updated document till this point with: http://git.eclipse.org/c/platform/eclipse.platform.common.git/commit/?id=8446c75c10f88edbc721aa784d3d5a0d914cf48a

I was unable to great an descent screenshot with this size. Platform N&N "Improvements in the dark theme" => bug 433475 is reopened. Requesting the component owners to verify whether this news is still relevant and if possible combine the news "Dark theme" and "Improvements in the dark theme" to a single news. Yes, still relevant. I update the entries also adding a new screenshot for the IDE (larger than 519, I'm unable to create a screenshot in this size which does not look ridiculous).

I decided to follow this rule, even though IMHO the result looks bad. Can you point me to the specification of this requirement? 519 feel to small, maybe we can adjust that in the future.

(In reply to Noopur Gupta from comment #14) > eclipse.platform.news\platform\4.4\whats-new-template\eclipse-whats-new- > template.html Thanks, I opened https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=436430 for discussion.
For documenting the new support for null type annotations in JDT I would like to link to a section in the help document. May I assume that ".." inside JDT's whatsNew/jdt_whatsnew.html will *always* point to the root of org.eclipse.jdt.doc.user? Or will copies served from download.eclipse.org lack this context?

Or will copies served from > download.eclipse.org lack this context? Not, that will work. We e.g. also refer to the Platform What's new with ../../org.eclipse.platform.doc.user/whatsNew/platform_whatsnew.html
Created attachment 243882 [details] section re null type annotations Here's a take at advertising null type annotations. I'm waiting for screenshots from Shankha, since screen shots taken on my linux box wouldn't be accepted ;-P Next I was going to write a paragraph for some migration guide (migrate from SE5 null annotations to null *type* annotations), but it seems, we don't typically have a migration section in org.eclipse.jdt.doc.user. -> Any hints where such guide should be prominently shown? (cf. also bug 434307). At this point it seems that I should also place a big red sticker "please don't use the quickfix to add the annotation bundle to build.properties". Will this be the last word for Luna (see bug 413583)?

JDT porting guide is here: http://git.eclipse.org/c/platform/eclipse.platform.common.git/tree/bundles/org.eclipse.jdt.doc.isv/porting/4.4 But if this is a user-facing thing, then it could just be added as an extra paragraph on the N&N entry that introduces the new feature.

I agree with you, this looks bad ;) Can you provide one that looks good at whatever size you need? Call it "darktheme-full.png" and just commit it to the same images folder. We can crop it for the N&N that appears inside the download, but show the full size on the N&N that is linked on the download page. The download page copy is the one most people see and link to anyway, and we have more flexibility there on size.

Gerrit review for the "darktheme-full.png" https://git.eclipse.org/r/27865 I'm basically out now for vacation (prep) so I can't help with the cropping magic.

Thanks Lars, I have merged and cropped it. We can use the uncropped version in the What's New linked from the download page.
I've added two paragraphs on null type annotations as supported by ECJ via http://git.eclipse.org/c/platform/eclipse.platform.common.git/commit/?id=495089180b71bb33a5c13ee9fc3c7b7e2bffeadd This includes essential hints for migrating projects using null annotations to be used in Eclipse Luna.
Final beautification and slight rearrangement is done and is released as : http://git.eclipse.org/c/platform/eclipse.platform.common.git/commit/?id=5e8d1d881cc139fb8c94b48af8749c7c1f4b4c6f
