[eclipse-dev] Indigo SR1 test pass tomorrow

[John Arthorne <John_Arthorne@xxxxxxxxxx>]

A reminder that tomorrow is the test pass
for Indigo SR1 (3.7.1). M20110824-0800 is the current release candidate
build - RC2 [1]. The vast majority of changes are in JDT, with the new
Java 7 support enabled. If you haven't already, tomorrow's test pass would
be a good time to try out some of the new language features. You can check
out Deepak's blog [2] for information on some of the new features to test.
Keep in mind that running Eclipse on Oracle Java 7 is not currently recommended
due to a JIT bug in the JVM [3], but using Eclipse to develop Java applications
targeting Java 7 is fully supported.

The FINAL scheduled build for 3.7.1
is next Wednesday (August 31st). Builds after that will only happen on
demand to fix critical problems. Code changes towards Indigo SR1 require
PMC approval at this point.
