Re: [tools-pmc] PMC Approval for PDT 4.0

+1 

But with one very strong suggestion.
In fact, let's say a conditional +1 :) 

I think on the "front page"
of your review materials you should mention the same thing you did in this
note: "Note this release changes the major field of version number
since there were some deprecated APIs removed (see N&N for details)"
Or something like that. I'd say probably as a paragraph in your initial
"description". 

= = = = =

More minor, I think it's always nice
to say something on front page about "72 bugs fixed" or similar
-- this is the place to brag a little. :) 

Also minor, I think "communities"
usually should mention the "3 pillars" -- 1. committers and contributors
as you do (though, to stay vendor neutral, I would not mention "Zend
Technologies" -- but, minor comment). 2. adopters (as I think you
do) but also 3. user community (usually reflected in "forum activity,
bugs opened by users" or other similar things. 

These minor suggestions are just that
... suggestions -- not part of the "condition". 

= = = = =

Most minor of all -- my own personal
user-question :) -- I still see "Unsupported Content type in Editor".
I've always assumed that was my own "install mistake" or something.
But if that is a known issue, let me know the bug or work around. 

Thanks. I am very glad you (and others)
have kept the project going!

Dear PMC Members

I’m requesting PMC approval for PDT 4.0
major release that is scheduled to coincide with Eclipse Neon.0.
The release contains both bug fixes and new
features [1] [2]:

https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/tools.pdt/releases/4.0/review

We decided to mark it as major release because
we make some cleanup around API’s.

[2] - https://wiki.eclipse.org/PDT/NewIn40
