Hi,

I think you can already start today by writing your code in a way that
you can run it in Eclipse 4.0 or better directly on the Eclipse 4.0
Application Platform.

I proposed a talk for Eclipse Summit Europe about "SingleSourcing for
Eclipse 4.x and Eclipse 3.x" and there's already an example available
showing how this is done - I'm talking about my Formbased-ModelEditor
who is written using the 4.0 Programing Model but runs ALSO in an
Eclipse 3.x environment through the so called Forward Compat Layer.

So if I'd have today to make the choice I'd go for the following
bundle/project-structure:

* org.myplugin: Only has depdendencies on core-bundles and equinox and
                SWT/JFace. Components in there are POJOs and probably
                uses DI-stuff from e4

* org.myplugin.3x: Integrates the bundles into the Eclipse 3.x world

In the 4.1 timeframe I want to invest some of my time into the Forward
Compat Layer which by then should provide all our 20 things in a 3.x env.
