[eclipse-dev] Planning Meeting Notes - Feb 22, 2006


------------------
 Discussion Topic
------------------


Workspace:
- There has been some good discussion on eclipse-dev about how to treat
  provisional APIs.  We should ensure we have a consistent story for
  provisional APIs across all teams for the 3.2 release.  How should
  they be named? Should we use x-internal? Should javadoc be generated?
  How should we publicize them to ensure we get feedback?

  Preferences>Java>Compiler>Building>Treat configurable errors
  like fatal errors...
- build states for very large projects should now save in a
  fraction of the time.
