Dear friends of Eclipse Platform UI and e4,

Platform UI:

Next week is milestone week, so anything cool and urgent you want to
see in M2 should be closed in the next days. We are also relatively
light on N&N entries, so if you have developed something cool, please
add it there.
I would be glad to see the Zoom commands for text integrated in M2 (so we may be able to factorize the Zoom In/Out on the whole IDE)

What is really cool in Android Studio is its ability to increase the
editor font size easily
See comment above ;)

its full screen mode
I personally don't feel much difference between this and the "Full Page" editor we have in Eclipse IDE (when double clicking an editor tab).
Do you feel a big difference? If yes, could you elaborate on what you think causes that?
and its auto-save feature.
I dislike the auto-save so much! However, I can understand some people like it, but we really need to consider that it doesn't fit all users.
IMO auto-save is in Intellij and family because the IDE isnt't able to provide good validation on "dirty" documents, mainly because it relies on external tools. Eclipse with it's incremental builds and so on is much better on that part.
One of our JBoss Tools teammates worked on such a plugin: https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-playground/tree/master/plugins/org.jboss.tools.playground.autosave . I have no idea of the plans and future, but before implementing, it would be worth asking him whether it's something that could go to Platform.
