[eclipse-dev] Timeframe for Cheetah JDK 1.5 integration [wd-vc]

[Thomas.Tik@xxxxxxxxxx]

Hi!

I am working on project that would benefit very much from the template features in JDK 1.5.
I tried Eclipse 3.0 with Cheetah 06 it works fine for many cases, but Errors like:

java.lang.ClassCastException: org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.lookup.ParameterizedTypeBinding

or: 

An internal error occurred during: "Debug".
java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -41
java.lang.String.substring(Unknown Source)
org.eclipse.jdi.internal.GenericSignature.getTypeParameters(GenericSignature.java:76)

make impossible to work in a more complex project, with a lot of class using template parameters
and inheritance.

I know that the Cheeta is work in progress and of corse still has issues which are not solved jet,
but I would like to know what the release plan for cheetah is to be able to make a decission 
if it is better to wait for improved versions of cheetah or stick to JDK 1.4.

Thanks Thomas
