Status

Debug:
- Support for launch delegates to perform pre-launch checks. 
 - Allows for scoped build and detection of compilation errors in the
   workspace before launching.
 - Currently implemented for Java launch configurations (not
   Runtime workbench)
- M8 Release
- Bug Fixing
- M9 Planning

Ant:
- M8 Release
- Bug Fixing
- M9 Planning

JDT/UI:
- shipping M8
- planning M9
- worked on new 3.0 icons
- AST Rewrite:
 - incorporated changes from API review
 - added support for copy target node that covers a range of
   nodes
- continued work on App exporter 
- investigated in new genericize variable type refactoring
- NLS
 - bundle accessor class guessing
 - new key/value pairs are inserted respecting sorting
   order of the properties file

Search:
- eased search result page implementation for flat layout
 (table presentation)

Compare:
- worked on new 3.0 icons

Encoding:
- worked on non-uniform encoding open issues

JDT Core:
- M9 draft plan posted
- 1.5
 - first run of JCK 1.5 indicates we are already 95,5% compliant, even
   though we have no support for covariance, autoboxing, annotation,
enum,
   no static import, etc... and our generics support is half baked
only...
 - syntax recovery can restore incomplete type parameters
 - in progress support for generic binaries (lazy reference resolving)
 - in progress support for wildcards
 - in progress DOM AST conversion for 1.5
 - during M9 we want to post a preview of our 1.5 compiler once we reach
   some decent state. It will have big limitations, but we want feedback
   from early adopters.

Initial Experience:
- Will be moving welcome content out of plugin.xml and into dedicated
 files (more scalable, smaller&faster Eclipse registry as a result)
- bug fixes

PDE:
- Improved launcher tab - removed embedded property sheet in favor of
 an Eclipse Form
- Quick plug-in search added to the plug-in import wizard.
- Order of magnitude improvement of the parse time in the new manifest
 editor (ongoing work in progress)
- Improvements in the import wizard (selection filter with regular
 expressions)

Update/Install:
- bug fixes and some code cleanup
- moved platform.xml to its own folder inside the configuration directory
 (configuration/org.eclipse.update)

Core:
- M8 testing and fixing
- M9 planning
