Debug:
- participated in Device Software Development Platform (DSDP) meeting
  - representation from Wind River, QNX, IBM, ATI, TI and Intel
  - discussion of issues pertaining to debuggers for embedded targets
  - focussed on building a list of new requirements for the debug platform
    to support the DSDP
- bug fixing

Ant:
- bug fixing

Platform/JDT Text:
- performance:
  - investigated to reduce the number of StyleRange object creation
    ==> we have some ideas that will be implemented in RC1
  - investigating computing more precise AnnotationModelEvents in
    CompilationUnitAnnotationModel [in progress]
  - profiled open CU editor with folding and found one low hanging
    fruit: the presentation is computed twice [fix targeted for 3.1 RC1]
- move/copy line action now correctly ends the compound change
- changed collapsible JDT Text preference pages back to tab-style
- working towards 3.1 M7
  - submitted test items for Test Pass One
  - submitted new and noteworthy items
  - testing
- bug fixing
- bug inbox tracking
- public holiday
- vacation

Core:
- rotating log file
- project specific content types
- bug fixing
- polish for M7

JDT UI:
- support of array types in infer type arguments
- rename method can now also rename annotation elements
- shortcuts for quick fixes/assists
- bug fixes for quick fixes/assist and wildcards
- new quick fixes for missing @Deprecared, @Override
- bug fixing
- more performance work
- polish:
  - shortcuts for quick fixes/assists
  - worked on default line terminator for new files

JDT Core:
- bug fixing
- features:
  - released support for @SuppressWarnings
  - added optional diagnosis to flag unhandled warning tokens
    in @SuppressWarnings annotations
  - in 5.0 compliant mode, changed local inner type naming 
    convention to reflect JLS 13.1 (3rd edition). As a consequence, 
    instead of generating a file named X$1$A.class, it will simply 
    be X$1A.class".
  - added compiler option to control whether @SuppressWarning 
    annotations are active or not. By disabling them, one can quickly 
    revive all hidden warnings.
  - added API on CorrectionEngine for computing the warning token 
    corresponding to an optional warning ID (towards quickfix)
  - searchMatch now has a implicit field which shows whether the 
    associated element is implicit or not (see bug 94062)
  - changed Code Assist option: CODEASSIST_FORBIDDEN_REFERENCE_CHECK 
     and CODEASSIST_DISCOURAGED_REFERENCE_CHECK are replaced by 
     CODEASSIST_HIDE_RESTRICTED_REFERENCES.
  - added support for 'capture' inside Code Assist. Delaring type of
    a completion 
    proposal is captured for qualified completion.
  - added APIs to replace a range of moved nodes (ListRewrite
     #createMoveTarget(first, last, replacingNode, editGroup)). 
    See bug 91938 for details.
- polish:
  - code Assist provide the enclosing type reference when cursor 
    is inside a type argument and the completion token is empty 
    (in the same way as method calls).
  - code Assist provide the enclosing annotation reference when 
    completion is inside an annotation argument and the completion 
    token is empty (in the same way as method calls).
  - code Assist doesn't propose anymore type completion when 
    completion token is empty.
  - removed 3.1 APIs BindingKey#getDeclaringTypeSignature() and
    BindingKey#toSignature() as they were found error prone.
    See bug 93105 for details.
