Just so everyone knows all the same
information ...

our "WTP M8 candidate" is
ready for testing. See

http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/committers/drops/S-1.0M8-200509171158/
and pick the one for the OS platform
you need. 

It does includes fixes that fixed Friday's
failing JUnit tests and the "servlet creation" blocker 109767
(https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=+109767)

Note: we will not rebuild M8 candidate
automatically, but only on request (send note to wtp-dev with 
bugzilla number and document in the
bugzilla why critical, what the impact is, etc. .... business as usual).

Note on 3.1.1  - please use 3.1.1
base while testing!!!

While we are still building with the
3.1 released versions of base Eclipse and pre-reqs, 
as far as I know we are 100% binary
compatible with 3.1.1 base and updated pre-reqs. 
(and we'd better be!) 

Since we'll be moving up to 3.1.1 based
builds immediately next week, and
since the platform is "freezing"
3.1.1 quite soon!
 I'll suggest teams use a 3.1.1
install base to test with 
this week. This week is basically our
last chance to report any problems
or regressions. 
See  http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/development/main.html

for details of platform's 3.1.1 plans.



Here's the list of the latest, near
final, 3.1.1 streams:

(pick right OS platform, and tests framework,
and releng tool if using for dev.).

Note on docs: 
This M8 candidate build does not  include
the docs
(since we changed build process "late
in the cycle"). 
We'll get those back in for M9.
