[eclipse-dev] Project meta data is out of date for eclipse

emo@xxxxxxx (portal on behalf of emo) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 05:00:22 GMT

Projects are required to keep meta data up to date using the MyFoundation
Portal (http://portal.eclipse.org/).  The following problems were found
with this project's meta-data:

* The date for release "3.5.1" is in the past, but the release is not
marked as completed. If it is completed, it should be marked as completed;
if it has been postponed, it should be given a new target date.
