Re: [eclipse-dev] Planning Meeting Notes - Feb 16, 2011

[John Arthorne <John_Arthorne@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I missed this meeting, so I am wondering
what was the outcome of the platform for screen shots discussion topic.
My input is that for 4.1 we should certainly be using Windows 7, since
almost all screen shots will need re-taking for 4.1 anyway. For 3.x, I'm
less convinced that switching is worth the effort (the UI is stable enough
that this would create a lot of new work for us).
