I think that going straight to 3.0 is a good idea. Especially the idea
of using eclipse as a rich client platform is quite attractive. Since
this will break a couple of todays plugins, the should be done as eraly
as possible. (Reminds me of an Inerview with Brian Kernighan about the
Implementation of C: They soon found out that the operator precedence
had errors, but they did not fix it because the System was already
working on seven machines....)
Concerning 1.5 : As far as I know, we are about to see the first beta
versions in Q4. So Tiger will be finished in the same timeframe as
eclipse. A beta eclipse should be good enough for a beta java.
just my 0.02$ worth
