  - Example of Junit test instrumented to capture performance data:
    - 
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.releng.tests/src/org/eclipse/releng/tests/perfms/UITest.java
  - more details to follow in upcoming week.
- working with Jeff McAffer to revamp the WSWB build process 
- bug fixing

JDT Core:
- 1.5: 
  - posted Cheetah-02 update
  - working on generic method support, and type inference
  - working in codeassisting in parameterized type references
- HEAD:
  - improved concurrency issue wrt to classpath container initializations,
     more work still needed to address completely
  - improved CP initialization debug traces
  - working on code formatter for handling NON-NLS comment tags
  - field hiding diagnosis now recognizes serialization specific fields
  - addressed long-standing issue with StackOverflow in codeassist
  - addressed verify error in assert statement code generation
  - API tuning for JavaModel 1.5, mostly in element signature decoding 
area
  - API tuning for codeassist 1.5

PDE:
- PDE Export reworked to use the new pde-build mechanism:
  - We can now export pure bundles in all three formats (zip,
    directory and Update JARs)
  - addressed long standing issues and resolved all outstanding
    export bugs.
- new icons are in place.  Sent feedback and screenshots to the visual
  designer.
- PDE Junit participates in refactoring.  All the work here was done by
  the JDT team, since PDE JUnit inherits the first launcher tab from
  JDT/JUnit. All we needed to do was add a new extension to declare
  our launch configuration's intent to participate in refactoring.
- finished work on using JDT 'New Class' dialog for Java code
  generation in manifest editor
- editor rework continues
- bug fixes

Update:
- bug fixes

- filter out features to install based on the NL values (in addition to
  os/ws/arch)

  done (for extension points that are important and we planned enabling
  for 3.0)
- bug fixes
- work on 3.0 look of help UI

Initial Experience:
- bugs fixes
- content file markup enhancement ('title' element added; 'class-id'
  attribute added to map to 'class' attribute in HTML)
