[wtp-releng] Smoke Test Request ... plus see the cool new graphics

I forgot to mention, be sure to check out the about-box and our new 
feature-branding! 

And if you want to see something really cool, you can start to see some of 
our WTP "product branding" 
with a few extra steps. 

1. Get the product features/plugins directly from build machine, artifacts 
tab
http://build.eclipse.org:7777/dashboard/tab/build/detail/wtpjee-R3.1-S
or dir link to this one particular zip file
http://build.eclipse.org:7777/dashboard/tab/build/download/artifacts/wtpjee-R3.1-S/log20090526071413Lbuild.1.xml/S-S20090526071413-20090526071413/wtpjee-S-S20090526071413-20090526071413.zip

2. unzip (for now) on top of your test install of RC2. 

3. change the eclipse.ini file to point to our WTP "Java EE Developer 
Tools" product: 
remove the existing
- - - 
-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
- - - 
replace with 
- - - 
-showsplash
org.eclipse.wtp.jee
-product
org.eclipse.wtp.jee.ide
- - - 

4. marvel at the new splash screen and welcome page and about-box image 
... 
and then, compliment the designer in bug 273772
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=273772
[Or, give constructive suggestions :) ]


The purpose of this "branding" effort is to (eventually) provide an easy 
way for novice users to get started and get 
linked up with samples and other information to make it easier to get 
started. Well, that, and to look cool. 

It is unlikely we'll get to any sort of "one click out of the box" 
experience this release (i.e. in next few weeks) but 
this work will provide a good start to get to that next release.

Smoke Test Request for WTP 3.1.0 S-build for RC2

Please document your Project's testing and approval of our 3.1 RC2 S 
build,
by today, Tuesday, 2 PM (Eastern Time), or let us know if that's not 
possible.

There is another build running now that there is no need to wait for. It 
will fix a versioning issue (that I broke ... I know you'd all love 
hearing that!) and I'll look to pick up latest pre-reqs of emf, etc. (You 
can, though, find those yourself to test with).
The running build might be ready before some of you late sleepers are 
ready to test, but if not, no need to wait for it,

Current Build
