Subject	[wtp-dev] WTP 1.5.4 plan for committer/community review

The PMC has reviewed an adopter request for a WTP 1.5.4 release and has
tentatively approved the following plan, pending community review. Please
read and respond with any questions or concerns. 

Scope 
WTP 1.5.4 is a service release for critical defects, regressions, and adopter
issues only. There should be no translation or UI changes, nor should it
affect any API reported through the adopter scanning tools.

Schedule 
To avoid conflicts with WTP 2.0 dates, since Eclipse service releases are
usually quarterly, and to make it easy to remember :), 5/4 is the proposed
release date for 1.5.4. 

Bug Approval 
All bugs for 1.5.4 must be approved by the PMC following the regular PMC
approval process [1]. We will use the same webpage and offline approval
[2] as previous releases like 1.5.3. 

Builds and Process 
1.5.4 will be built using the regular continuous builds and 1.5 maintenance
stream in CVS. We will have weekly checkpoints on the build call for fixes
targetted to 1.5.4, but will use the following biweekly schedule for declaring
I-builds: 

3/22 - I-build released 
4/5 - I-build released 
4/19 - RC1 released. PMC will only approve stop-ship bugs during the last
two weeks 
5/4 - 1.5.4 declared
