JDT APT:
- 3.3.2 testing
- Testing compatibility with javac
- Working on improved test framework for Java 6 annotation processingtests

JDT Core:
- investigating returning Java elements on completion context

Platform UI:
- decorators:
  - support for LocalResourceManagers in DecoratingLabelProviders. The
DecorationContext
    used by default in a DecoratingLabelProvider now passes a
LocalResourceManager to the
    decoration support.  This manager is disposed when the
DecoratingLabelProvider is
    disposed. If this LocalResourceManagers is not in the DecorationContext
the
    LocalResourceManager used is the global one we have always used.
