[ve-dev] A new version of JEM (1.2.4) for Eclipse 3.2, VE 1.2.3

[David M Williams <david_williams@xxxxxxxxxx>]

VE Colleagues, 

Here are some details on a maintenance release of
JEM that is being produced by the WTP project. 

There is no reason for a VE user to _have_ to get
this maintenance release of JEM. 
This is to fix one bug that should have no effect
on VE. 
     178553 Generic parameters not
supported at class level
     https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=178553


However, if you use VE _and_ WTP, then you might end
up with the maintenance release 
being installed on your system (via WTP). 

And, while the bug (and bug fix) itself should not
effect VE, there is always that tiny chance 
that we have messed up the build in some way that
does not show up for us in WTP, 
but might show up for VE users. 

Hence, if there are any of you leading VE users out
there (or, adopters of VE) then you can help 
us (VE and Eclipse as a whole, that is) by helping
to test this maintenance release of JEM with VE. 

It is available as a separate download at the bottom
of our WTP 1.5.4 build page (or, if you update/install 
WTP 1.5.4, you'll also get it automatically). [There
is no update site for it yet, and will be in a 
week or so, but I'd recommend for early testing that
you just download the zip.]

This build is our release candidate for this maintenance
release of WTP 1.5.4, and 
it's scheduled to be formally released in 2 weeks,
unless some blocking bug or 
regression is found. 

Problems can be entered in the WTP bugzilla system,
in the jst.jem component. 
And, feel free to ask questions or report success
either on this ve-dev list, 
or the wtp-releng list. 

Thanks for any help,
