Debug:
- Working on M2 plan
- Initial cut of "logical view of java objects"
is in. Logical views for collections
  and maps are defined.
- Working on review & cleanup of launch variable
API
- Working on APIs for strata support (JSR045) in Java
debug model

Ant:
- Working on M2 plan
- Standardized the parser used throughout Ant (to
org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser)

Platform/JDT Text:
- bug fixing
- released new editor function: Copy Lines
- released two new JDT views
  - Declaration: Shows the declaration of the
element at the caret position
  - Javadoc: Shows the Javadoc of the element
at the caret position
- changed hovering infrastructure to allow custom
information controls per registered hover 
  (covers annotation hover, text hover, information
presenter, and additional completion
  proposal info)
- continued work on change bar vertical ruler

JDT UI:
- test/fix pass for M1
- M2 planning
- discussed headless text plug-in with Platform/Text.
Plug-in will be used by new 
  JDT/Core working copy model and upcoming refactoring
participants.
- refactoring
  - extract method now finds duplicate code fragments
and helps extracting them
  - started work to rearchitecture move and copy
functionality
- code manipulation
  - improved comment handling in AST rewriting

Update:
- UI redesign nearly finished
- the new UI is going to be smaller, with fewer classes
and footprint
- UI redesign document published on Update Development
Resources home page
- test scenarios reworked to match the new UI (also
available on Development Resources)
- an early prototype of the Eclipse application for
running Update from the command
  line now working (will be documented towards
the M2)
- in total 2 fixes for 2.1.1

Help:
- continued work in handling TOCs for large books
- 2.1.1 on track - no new fixes

PDE:
- started defect triage
- PDE work picking up - improvements and defect fixes
in the next weeks
- no 2.1.1 fixes
- need to work closely with PDE Build to get plug-in
and feature export capability
  working again against the new PDE Build API

Team/CVS:
- sorting through the CVS bugs and figuring out which
ones to fix in M2
- new sync view will be released into the next integration
build
- cvs annotate command finished
- user preferences and logical to physical plan items
are being worked on
- M2 component plan will be available by the end of
the week
- working with UI team on our requirements for object
contribution
  overriding/keybindings/dynamic views


JDT/Core:
- new syntax error message diagnosis got released
to HEAD (not yet integrated)
- new optimistic JavaModel locking (not yet integrated):
no longer lock entire
  model when populating, rather lock cache updates.
- in progress for 3.0-M2 effort:
  - closing gap between working copies and units
  - allow working copies to be aware of others
for all kind of operations
    (to allow for generalized refactoring)
  - investigate generalized search for Java-like
languages
  - bring new code formatter into a state where
it can replace old one (need
    position mapping and multiple entry
level)
