[news.eclipse.technology.imp] Re: New release of IMP available on eclips

["Robert M. Fuhrer" <rfuhrer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've updated the feature manifests for the lpg.generator feature in
LPG 2.0.16 and 2.0.17 on the LPG update site. The changes have also
been checked into CVS HEAD on LPG's sourceforge repo.

I've also updated the copies of the lpg.generator feature on the IMP
update site.

Please post if you have good or bad experiences after these changes.

Thanks!
