moving to Friday 8 am EST
  this week?
- Build schedule over the holidays.

-------- 
 Status
--------

Debug:
- bug fixing
- launch configurations:
  - migration support: see new "migration
delegate" attribute on
    <launchConfigurationTypes> extension
point
  - resource mapping support: see new get/setMappedResources
API
- execution environments:
  - infrastructure to distinguish between JREs
that match an environment
    exactly vs. surpass an environment's
requirements

JDT Core:
- CamelCase support in code assist enabled by default

- switched to EFS for non zip/jar files (waiting on
bug 119244 for 
  zip/jar support)
- released incremental compiler participant API
- deferred stackmap table attribute (Java SE6) support
 to M5
- M4 bugs verifying
- bug triage

Platform/JDT Text:
- incorporated camel case matching into content assist
- added support to get Java Outline and Quick Outline
for external and
  repository files
- added parameter name timeout preference used when
extracting the names
  from attached Javadoc
- adapted DefaultInformationControl to use new PopupDialog
- working towards 3.2 M4:
  - contributed to test plan
  - contributed to New & Noteworthy
  - full day test pass
- bug fixing
- bug inbox tracking

Platform UI:
- general:
  - discussions on linkability
  - contributed ResourcePropertyTester patch
to org.eclipse.core.resources 
    (to support Common Navigator and other
bits)
  - added filtered tree to import, export and
new wizards
  - added hidden (i.e. not in the preference
UI, mainly for RCP apps)
    workbench preference that can be overridden
to not show filter text
    where filtered trees are used (e.g.
preferences, show view dialog
    etc...)
  - more improvements in workbench trim dragging
(some polish still
    required)
- bug fixing:
  - general bug fixing for milestone 4
  - tracked down a bizarre accessibility issue
in an RCP-based product
    https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=69374#c48
- common navigator:
  - ongoing work, cleanup API and ext. pts for
M4
- ICU4J:
  - ICU4J is now in the build as part of the
platform feature;
    more work will be done during M5 to
break it down into more easily 
    consumable fragments and to get platform
code to adopt using ICU4J
- JFace:
  - SWT.VIRTUAL support for JFace TreeViewer
(bug 112000, work in progress)
  - multiple equal elements in JFace TreeViewer
(bug 84314, to apply post M4)

PDE:
- now using the new animated status message support
in UI Forms
- execution environment mostly done

plug-ins will be
  compiled against the JRE in the selected environment)
- M4 testing

User Assistance:
- linkability:
  - work on the command framework patch in progress
for the command
    support enhancements related to linkability
- solution guides:
   - prototype up and running, proposal
will be published this week

  the UI restarted, and then uninstalled based
