Eclipse Kepler Acknowledgements
The entire Eclipse and Equinox team would like to thank our amazing release engineer David Williams. David not only kept our builds going every day, but together with Thanh Ha and Paul Webster, managed the largest ever transition in our build system from PDE Build to CBI (Tycho). The team would also like to thank the Eclipse Foundation staff for their tireless efforts, including: Matt Ward and Denis Roy for keeping all that infrastructure going, Janet Campbell and Sharon Corbett for guiding us through the Eclipse legal process, Wayne Beaton for giving us tools to simplify and manage our development process, Ian Skerrett for his help with marketing the Eclipse release, and Mike Milinkovich for running the whole show.
The Platform Text team would like to thank everyone who filed good bug reports and enhancement requests. Special thanks go to Christian Walther and Marco Descher for patches they submitted.
JDT UI sends thanks to code contributors Oliver Masutti, Lars Vogel, Christian Georgi, Philippe Marschall, Tristan Hume, Billy Huang, Kelly Campbell, Martin Hare Robertson, Snjezana Peco and Stephan Herrmann.
The JDT Core team would like to thank everyone who contributed to the Kepler release in the form of bug reports and patches.

The JDT Debug team would like to thank everyone who helped improve the Java debugger by filing bugs, testing and providing patches. Specifically we would like to thank Brock Janiczak for the new XML node logical structure support, Thomas Schindl for the Javadoc support for ext libraries, Pascal Gruen, Jesper Møller, Yevgen Kogan and Samrat Dhillon for bug fixes.
The Platform Debug team would like to thank everyone who helped improve the debugger framework by filing bugs, testing and providing patches. Specifically we would like to thank Mohamed Hussein for bug fixes and the warning support in the launch dialog, Mikhail Khodjaiants, Christian Georgi, Valentin Ciocoi, Robin Stocker and Krzysztof Daniel for bug fixes.
The Plug-in Development Environment team would like to thank everyone who has helped improve our user experience by providing great bug reports and excellent patches. Special thanks to Carsten Pfeiffer for improving our quickfix support, Christian Pontesegger for creating the image browser view, Maarten Meijer for updating the builder template, Thomas Schindl for adding the classpath resolver API. We appreciate all of the help we received from other Eclipse developers and members of the community including: Troy Bishop, Mickael Istria, Tomasz Zarna, Brian de Alwis, Lars Vogel, Chris Dail, and Christian Georgi.
The SWT team would like to thank everyone who filed bugs and helped to improve the toolkit. Special thanks go to: Alexander Kurtakov and Anatoly Spektor (GTK+ 3 work), Christof Engel and Martin Kolb (fix for COM/Browser leak), Alex Lu/Boris Dachevski/ Viktor Malytskyy/Alex Pogrebtsov and Carsten Pfeiffer (XULRunner Windows x86_64 help), and Makoto Kato (providing a source of XULRunner Windows x86_64 downloads). Additional thanks to Chun Yan Zhang, Dani Megert, Lina Kemmel, Markus Keller, McQ, and Paul Webster.
The release engineering team would like to thank all the other Eclipse committers and many contributors who helped improve the releng process and deliverables. Its hard to single out individuals, in such a large team effort, as moving to Tycho and CBI Tools, but special thanks go to Andrew Ross and Igor Fedorenko who provided the initial prototype of the CBI build (with Paul Webster's invaluable help). In particular they provided CBI specific tools for signing jars and a versioning tool that was required for our Platform builds. Other required tools came from Krzysztof Daniel for a CBI version of computing API Tooling data files (and many other contributions). Would also like to give a special thanks to Jan Sievers who not only gave much Maven and Tycho advice, but also made critical improvement to Tycho (for version 0.18.0) that were essential for us producing our final production builds, such as improvements to producing source bundles, source features, and much, much more.
