[ apologies if I missed anyone's status this week;
  I'm switching laptops, and I suspect I've lost some email
  in the process.]

----------
 Outreach
----------

- EclipseCON was a blast. Excellent tutorials, talks, BOFs; great
  conversations; lots of energy. Much thanks to everyone who
  contributed!

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

Platform UI:
- new support for Vista progress bars that change color to show
  "paused" and "error" (see ProgressIndicator in JFace)
- new API for RCP apps to sort contributions (starting with preference
  and property pages)
- extended decorator mechanism for showing accurate file type icons
- cross-field validation support in data binding
- tree viewer support in data binding
- API to contribute services and sources to the UI service locators
- renamed StyledStringBuilder to StyledString (new class in M6)
- Paul's word of the week: "semi-deterministic"

Debug:
- M6 testing
- bug triage & fixing

JDT UI:
- working towards 3.4 M6 (compiling N&N, testing, fixing)
- added two new quick fixes:
  - add qualification for references to inner classes in Javadoc
  - correct type in enhanced for statement
- API discussions with JDT/Core
- inbox tracking
- bug fixing
- 2 public holidays

Platform Text and JDT Text:
- working towards 3.4 M6 (compiling N&N, testing, fixing)
- added code to colored labels in content assist and quick
  assist/fix to respect Platform UI preference
- API polish for rich hovers
- reviewed and committed contribution:
  - Externalize Strings wizard no longer tries to externalize
    annotation arguments and defaults
- adopted new PopupDialog API (including an improvement in
  PopupDialog itself)
- prepared adoption of new Platform UI content assist color settings:
  - deprecated our preferences for M6 but still using our (will be
    changed for M7)
- polished multi-hyperlink UI
- added toolbar button to rich problem hover that allows to change the
  severity of a particular problem
- added toolbar button to rich Javadoc hover that allows to open
  external Javadoc
- added Templates view (work in progress, might not be enabled in M6)
- inbox tracking
- bug fixing
- 2 public holidays

JDT Core:
- fixed race condition during set classpath operation
- fixed performance regression in name lookup in Java model (impacted
  code assist tests)
- released API to invoke batch compiler within Java code
- batch compiler now honors the Class-Path clause of jar files
  manifests
- released API to returned annotations as inner most enclosing element
  during search
- released API to get the option corresponding to a given compiler
  problem
- bug fixing

User Assistance:
- bug fixing and testing

PDE
- M6/p2 testing
- investigating test case failures due to JDT changes:
  - https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=221680
- bug triage & fixing

JDT APT:
 - very close to done on compiler resilience around missing types:
   - this is an APT issue because the JSR269 spec makes requirements of
     the typesystem even when some types are unresolved.)
 - APT is looking good for M6.
 - bugs, inbox, newsgroups, travel
