Status
--------
Debug:
- console:
- performance improvements under heavy/large output
- added a higher layer of abstraction for text based consoles,
that stream based consoles inherit from
- released "Java Stack Trace Console" for copy/pasting stack traces
that can then be navigated with hyperlinks
- breakpoint container factories released as API (first revision)
- investigated background content in the variables view, but found the
existing "deferred tree content manager" was insufficient, as refreshing
the view after each step causes the tree to collapse.
- bug fixing
Ant:
- Ant Editor:
- CTRL-click hyperlink support for "open declaration"

- bug fixing

- theme Large Scale Development:
- compiled patch to support dynamic working sets on
Platform/UI level
- wrote updater to dynamically adjust Java working sets
based on deltas
- implemented support to browse type hierarchy in static

- still working on final details but good initial performance numbers
- memory 1.3M -> 600K (large workspace)
- startup time gain ~100ms
- history store file-based implementation
- good results in initial implementation
- working on performance improvements for copy + search cases
- working on migrating property store to use same mechanism
- preferences dynamic team work

- action contributions:
- met with Text team (Kai)
- revised priorities

(http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/platform-ui-home/R3_1/dynamic_teams/dynamic_teams.html#team2)
- BIDI support
- ImageCache support
- UI has been experimenting with finding ways to deal with bug backlog
and be more responsive to news groups
- Currently on Fridays after lunch we sit around together with laptops
and do the following
- review/discuss bugs that are not assigned
- verify that bugs have proper resolution and owner (i.e. many bugs
FIXED and not marked as such)
- identify important bugs that have fallen through the cracks
- read/respond to news groups
- important to have everyone together so that there can be some time
to share opinions/thoughts/history on certain topics
JDT/Core:
- deep tuning of support for generic types (down to 64 errors in 1.5
source libs, against 113 last week)
- search can now find varargs method declarations and/or references
- released API for batching DOM AST creations
- improved syntax recovery for enums
- raised default severity of access restriction violations to "warning"
- bug fixing
Platform/JDT Text:
- bug fixing
- continued preparation of comment formatter for being moved to JDT Core,
code clean-up
- further improvement of performance tests
- worked with the Platform UI team on action contribution issues,
preferences rework, editor embedding, and undo story
- working with the WTP team on a better integration with the Eclipse
platform
PDE:
- added a template for builders and natures (creates a sample nature and
a builder that validates all the XML files in your project)
- plug-in search re-rewritten (no longer using 'Classic Search')
- added more checking for manifest validators (for example, elements

- working on a unified proposal for user assistance improvements

- improved error reporting for non-user background jobs and submitted
patch for quickdiff
- working on patch to support adaptable = true
- using the new adaptable support, prototyped resource mappings (e.g.
part of the logical resources plan item). Our plan is to release this
