Hi Markus,
I found these while reading the combined N&N.
1. The entry [1] for Solaris 64 needs to be updated. The builds for SPARC are also available now.
2. In entry [2], the command 'Toggle visibility the window toolbars' is missing 'of'. And there is a typo in current window (says currently window).

Thanks Lakshmi, could you please fix the issue in the eclipse.platform.common and push them? There will be an RC4 rebuild, and it would be good to have this in.
