This plan is under continuous refinement. Please send comments about this plan to the jdt-ui-dev@eclipse.org developer mailing list.
Note: This plan depends on the Platform Text Plan.
Overall Goals
This section lists the goals for Eclipse 3.7 for the JDT Text and the JDT UI component as listed on the
Eclipse Project 3.7 Draft Plan.
[1] Scaling Up.
Monitor overall performance and memory consumption which includes the addition of new performance tests for new features.
[2] Design for Extensibility.
Provide APIs for clients where needed.
[3] Ease of Use.
Make sure we run on the e4 compatibility layer and deliver new productivity features like TBD.
[4] Technology Trends.
Add support for Java 7.
Work Items
This section lists the possible work items for Eclipse 3.7 for the JDT Text and the JDT UI component
with the [corresponding theme].
Some of those items have a higher priority than others.
Work items that are annotated with [component name] are delivered for another component.
 [3.7.1] Java 7 [4]
Note: Due to late availability of JSR-292 (Invoke Dynamic) and JSR-334 (Project Coin)
and due to the official release date (July 28, 2011) of Java 7 being after 3.7
ships we had to defer the Java 7 support to 3.7.1.
