       <p>The Core component forms the base of the Eclipse platform's runtime configuration.  
         It includes mechanisms and facilities for:</p>  
       <ul>  
         <li>booting and running the platform</li>  
         <li>plug-in declaration and management</li>  
         <li>resource management</li>  
       </ul>  
       <p>The Core is excruciatingly generic -- all plug-ins installed and run  
         on the Core infrastructure are treated equally. The contents of resources  
         are never examined in any domain-specific way and the Core can run equally  
         well with and without a UI. </p>

       <p>If you are interested in participating in the development of the Core  
         component, check out the developer's mailing list: <a href="http://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/platform-core-dev">platform-core-dev@eclipse.org</a>.  
         Chat with people there about your problems and interests, and find out  
         what you can do to help. </p>  
       <p>In particular, if you are interested in system level code and are intimately  
         familiar with Java classloading, thread management, filesystem resource  
         management on a variety of operating systems, Windows/Linux filesystem  
         callback management, or programming for speed/space, the Core team wants  
         to talk to you.</p>  
       <p>Upcoming work is primarily in the details of currently supported function.</p>
