Re: [eclipse-dev] Planning Meeting Notes - Apr 13, 2005

[DJ Houghton <DJ_Houghton@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Platform/Core status:

- Performance work
    - investigation to skip the boot classloader consultation
    - profiling new NLS support
    - reduced preference store memory usage
    - investigation into content type performance
- Fixed NLS to handle escaping quotes
- Converted the rest of our plug-ins to use manifests and to ship as JARs
- Finished work to support to read-only configurations
- About to release the nature-contentType associations
- Investigation on 3rd party library and classloading
- Almost all plug-ins in the SDK will be JAR'd for this week's integration
build
- Bug fixing
