** Status update:

 * Packages
   - 4 Packages with Europa RC2 released for Win32, Linux, MacOSX
     there are still known-issues, e.g. missing Webtools/DTP features 
     in JEE package
   - download page prototype contains the 4 packages (bug 187879)
   - Visual Editor: it was agreed to skip it (status still unstable, no 
     release planned for Europa)
   - Mylar (PDE dependency): work in progress: bug 182506, 187880
   - XML separation from WTP: work in progress: bug 176492
   - overall status: good progress, open issues in packaging itself
     will be addressed in week 20

 * Installer
   - version from CVS compiles now
   - it was possible to compile the installer packages and to add the
     executable with the linker; due to some Java version incompatibilities
     the installation failed at some point (see bug 191514)
   - more testing and feedback necessary
   - it was agreed to build packages with installer after the Europa
     release; reasons for that can be found on the mailinglist (stability
     for Eclipse download page, missing end-user feedback so far, critical
     path for necessary Release Review, ...)

** This and that...

 * Pascal - [Bug 191378] Packages should define a product
 * Bug 191598 - what JVM version / environment is necessary to run the
   packages


If something is missing or you feel that something is wrong, please add it to 
the list...
