A couple options for editor problem;
a) Move API in editor to 3.2 (move our annotation navigation to
Eclipse 3.2) and forget about CDT 3.0.x for Eclipse 3.2.
b) Move API in editor to 3.2 (move our annotation navigation to
Eclipse 3.2) and patch CDT 3.0.x stream to work with Eclipse 3.2 (change methods
to not collide with changes made in AbstractTextEditor and properly override
AbstractTextEditor to use our annotation navigation).
c) Make both HEAD and CDT 3.0.x stream the same for Eclipse 3.2 (change
methods to not collide with changes made in AbstractTextEditor and properly
override AbstractTextEditor to use our annotation navigation).

Subject: [cdt-dev] Proposal for
Release Schedules
Hey gang,
We talked about this at this month’s conference
call and I’d like to get the community’s input and call for a vote
on this.
Essentially, we want to avoid triple streaming. We
have a need to move to Eclipse 3.2 before API freeze happens next month to
validate that we are happy with any API changes (which we aren’t but kind
of lost that first battle). We are also considering maintenance work on the CDT
3.0.x stream for the Jan timeframe. And finally, we have some sizable changes
that we had considered for a CDT 3.1 for Feb/Mar.
I think this is a little too much release activity
for the number of committers we have working on the CDT today, and the
consensus on call was that this was that we should probably only have one
release in the Feb-ish timeframe. What we haven’t figured out if there
will be enough content to call it a 3.1 or if it could be a 3.0.2. But we can
work that out as we go.
So my proposal is this: move HEAD to Eclipse 3.2,
which requires some code changes due to API changes in the abstract editor and
allows us to start working towards any new APIs that are coming (e.g. debug).
Use the cdt_3_0 stream for the next release towards the end of Feb.
Toughts?
Doug
