[jdt-core-dev] JDT update for J2SE 1.5: Cheetah06 available

[Philippe P Mulet <philippe_mulet@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear 1.5 fans,

The Cheetah strikes back, and is now based on the official Eclipse 3.0
release. Along with numerous bug fixes, we started enabling significant
portions of JDT functionalities such as:  - editor error reconciling,  -
outliner with labels showing parameterized/generic info,  - code selection
and hover,  - code assist,  - DOM AST,  - JavaModel,  - Java search,  -
type hierarchies,  - attached sources for generic binaries

Last run of latest JCK1.5 gave us a mark of 96.20% (408 failures to go).
Remember that, for now, the Cheetah is still on diet, as it cannot yet
digest covariance, autoboxing, enumerations, varargs or annotations.

Please retrieve Cheetah06 from our update site, and find more info at:
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/jdt-core-home/r3.0/main.html#updates

Note that the Cheetah download is bigger since it now comprises more
components (JDTCore, JDTUI and JDTDebug).
Cheetah is also directly hosted on official Eclipse.org update site.

As usual, would you find issues, you should enter a bug report with a
problem title starting with "[1.5]", so we can easily identify these
issues.

We will now consolidate the 1.5-aware tooling, and introduce new
ingredients
(like covariance) into the Cheetah diet.

The JDT team
