RE: [eclipse-dev] A Call for Caution

["JOHN JEWKES" <w6hnc@xxxxxxx>]

A wise idea. I worry when too many changes occur in too short a time or 
without valid reason. I have seen it happen before with the Blue-J 
interface. the sixth version tried to address issues that *might* happen 
under Vista. They don't happen, but now Blue-J is no longer backwards 
compatible with the other versions.
