Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Juno M1
simultaneous release and Eclipse platform 3.8/4.2
Does that means that next Eclipse release will be
officially shipped with e4.2 ?

To echo John's comment; the Platform UI Team is completely
committed to ensuring that Eclipse 4 is ready for Juno. Bugs
that represent regressions against existing 3.x behavior will
be treated as 'critical' by us regardless of the apparent
severity. If the regression is because of the use of internals
we'll gladly work with you to determine the appropriate fix.
On the plus side it's waaaay easier to find / fix defects in
4.x due to its underlying structure.
If you have any questions don't hesitate to get in touch with
me (emoffatt@xxxxxxxxxx),
I'm the development lead for 4.x so your 4.x issues are
mine...;-).
The reason is that 4.2 is where all major new feature
development is happening in the Platform. The 3.8 version is
focused primarily on stability and bug fixes. I believe most
projects contribute their latest release to the release train
each year.
Please don't hesitate to enter a bug against Eclipse Platform
if you are seeing a problem that occurs when running your
component on 4.2 that doesn't happen on 3.8. They should be
fully compatible, and unless you are using Platform internal
code that has changed between those releases, you should be
able to run on either one.
