| [wtp-dev] Update on 2005 release plans |
|
The Web Tools Platform project is updating its release for
2005 to reflect its focus on quality and platform APIs. The initial release,
slated for July 31st and based on version 3.1 of the Eclipse
platform, targets user tools and will be numbered 0.7. The second release,
slated for December 15th, targets platform-quality APIs and will be
numbered 1.0. This release sequence is designed to encourage early use of the
tools, while providing adequate time to develope and promote a sustainable
framework. For consumers of the provisional APIs in the July release, this
numbering also provides clearer guidance on their maturity level and
establishes a timeframe for ratifying those APIs before they assume their final
form, as requested by WTP clients. The feature set for the July release remains
unchanged from previous plans. The WTP 1.0 requirements document may be found at http://eclipse.org/webtools/development/requirements/wtp_1_0_plan.html. Note that WTP APIs with dependencies on 3.2 platform planning
may remain provisional beyond the WTP 1.0 release. WTP PMC |
