 Status

Debug:
- bug fixing
- migration to standard "always/never" dialog, that now lives in JFace

Ant:
- bug fixing

Core/Expressions:
- removed dependencies to deprecated runtime API
- made expression language dynamic plug-in installation aware

Platform/Search:
- bounded search history

LTK:
- removed dependencies to deprecated runtime API
- preview page now filters synthetic composite changes
- preview page reveal first non composite change
- investigated to use new suspend/resume API to prevent blocking in the
  middle of a refactoring

JDT/UI:
- Quick fix: more fixes to resolve type mismatches: 'Change type of
  variable', 'Change type of method' and 'Add interface to type XYZ'.
- Udpate imports on paste: copy now remembers the needed imports for
  the copied code fragment and paste adds any missing imports.
- Refactoring:
  - NLS wizard now supports key renaming. If more than one key is
    selected the common prefix of all keys can be edited.
  - improved 'cancelability' of refactorings
  - investigate in decreasing memory consumption of rename virtual
    method refactoring
- Adapted code to new JDT/Core search API
- Organize import now generates minimal import changes. In the past the
  whole import container got replaced
- Use IProgressService instead of ProgressMonitor dialog were appropriate
- Add preferences UI for new compiler options 'unnecessary else' and
  'empty statement'
- Search:
  - added result filters to Java searches. The following filters are
    available:  hide matches in Javadoc, hide matches in import 
statements,
    hide read accesses, hide write accesses

Team/CVS Status:
- made all CVS operations proper workspace look granularity
- polishing Team synchronize APIs
- removed prompting from background jobs. Instead, results can be accessed
  in the progress view.
- performance testing
- full synchronize pages shown in compare/merge dialogs
- adding support for switching to a branch without loosing outgoing 
changes
- bug fixing
- bug triage
