Re: [eclipse-pmc] PMC must read! Release reviews

Great work. Thanks John!

Some corrections:

- API: mention that 4.2 API is not available/complete
yet

- Deferred plan itmes: Start work on
Java SE 8 features
        By
its own this is not true, we work on this since last year but we just don't
have anything that's consumable. On the plan it's more obvious why it is
deferred.
        I'd
either remove this or reword it to "deferred: Previews with initial
Java SE 8 features

- New and Noteworthy JDT: typos: CameCase
-> Camel-case, java -> Java

- Removed bundles: depending on the
outcome of bug
381699 we also have to add
'org.eclipse.equinox.concurrent'
        NOTE:
if this is added, we must also update the 'Architectural Issues' page

- Platform quality API:
        The
PMC is comfortable supporting the API that is in the Eclipse project 4.2
        All
new 4.x stream API is still x-internal provisional API
According to http://wiki.eclipse.org/Provisional_API_Guidelines#After_the_API_freeze
there is officially no "provisional" API when the product ships.
So, can we say that the API for 4.2 is not yet available and will be done
during 4.3?

- Architectural Issues: 3 added bundles
***for*** new BIDI API, JDT annotations, and dynamic tracing

- Bugzilla: Over 370 back-ported to
3.7.x and 4.7.x maintenance ==> 4.1.x maintenance (McQ already mentioned
this)

- Bugs fixed during 4.2: footer (copyright)
is missing

- Standards:
        Compiler
can generate 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, and 1.7 code
         
      This is not true. The compiler can *compile*
those sources but can generate back to 1.1 and CLDC 1.1
        Clients
can run Java SE 6 or 7
         
      I guess you meant: Eclipse (or the Eclipse
IDE) runs on Java SE 6 or 7

Community:
        We
should also mention the Eclipse (Juno) DemoCamps
        Remove
"Apache Harmony" (it has been retired and no interaction happened
there for this release)

Future Plans: we could mention Windows
8
