[eclipse-dev] Status of M3 Candidate

["Dean Roberts" <Dean_Roberts@xxxxxxx>]

Testing has turned up some significant problems with today's M3 candidate (I20021113).

JDT - Builder problem.  A patch for this has been mailed to this list.
SWT - Mac problems.  A patch for this will be mailed to this list shortly.

Two major problems are being investigated are:

SWT - GTK does not run.
ANT - "New" functionality proves unusable for SWT (and other) development.

As soon as fixes are found for these last two problems the patches should be posted.  For testing you should apply the patches to today's build.

To make things a little easier there will be a rebuild tomorow at 8:00 am EST that will incorporate the two patches that are already published *and* possibly patches for the last two items, if patches become available tonight.

Please do not slip any other fixes into this build.  If the problem is not bad enough to require a patch, it is not bad enough to go into the rebuild.

It is still intended that Thursday will involve further testing and fixing and may result in a late Thursday build.
