   will release after integration build for futher testing
 - API review for debug platform memory view and associated extension
   point are complete, implemention (contribution) pending
 - bug fixing
- Ease of use:
 - support for recursion in Java logical structures - i.e. a structure's
   return value is resolved to its logical structure, if any
 - reviewed breakpoint group API and extension point -- changed from
   "container factories" to "organziers"
 - migrated breakpoint group implementation to be based on working sets
   (replaces "custom groups")

 - fixes in the Ant debugger for improved variable presentation
   (stack frame re-use)
- Built to last:

JDT/UI:
- J2SE 5.0:
 - static import can now be grouped using an own group.
   Also added grouping of all 'other' imports
 - add unresolved method to generic type quick fix
 - converted Override Method to AST rewriting and bindings
   (necessary to handle new language features correctly)
 - continued work on extract interface to support static
   imports, varargs and annotations
 - made rename type fully 5.0 aware

- Refactoring:
 - continued worked on supporting Copy/Paste participants

   Java project wizard)

   working set;
 - that will make org.eclipse.help.ide plug-in obsolete (we will not
   ship it in 3.1)
