-------------------
 Discussion Topics
-------------------

Platform/JDT Text:
- use R3_0_maintenance instead of R3_0 as reference for performance tests
    Reason: SWT has fixed a bug for JDT Text related to char key event
            injection and SWT would port it to the maintenance branch.
            Without this fix JDT Text has to disable the affected tests
            since they fail under Linux.
