External tools (264338)
JDT UI:
- added support for @Override for interface methods (1.6 and higher):
- updated Clean Up and Extract Interface
- JUnit view: Added 'Import from URL...' to history drop-down
tip: copy a the test result URL from an Eclipse build result and
replace the "html" directory and "html" ending with "xml", e.g.:
- http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/N20090927-2000/testresults/xml/org.eclipse.equinox.p2.tests_linux.gtk.x86.xml
- released a workaround for spurious BadLocationExceptions after
applying quick fixes (bug 195834)

- continued to work on computing Type Hierarchy view's content in the
background
- continued to work on improved UI for configuring the 'Expand with
Constructors' feature in the Call Hierarchy
- 1 public holiday
- 1 day vacation
Platform Text and JDT Text:
- fixed XML parsing code that writes to the console
- added new folding (aka projection) icons which look better on dark
backgrounds
JDT Core:
- bug fixes
- warning is now reported for missing @Override annotation for
implementation of interface methods
- investigating fixes for 3.5.2
- investigating memory issues with APT
- 1 day off in ISL
JDT APT:
- newsgroups, Bugzilla, inbox, conf calls
- investigate APT memory space issues. Olivier and I feel that the
best first approach is to add an additional createASTs() API that would
take a flag allowing the caller to specify a less granular AST, i.e.,
without method bodies. We are also looking at some approaches that
would be more disruptive, in case that doesn't sufficiently solve the
problem.
