[etrice-dev] draft project plan for eTrice 0.3

[Henrik Rentz-Reichert <hrr@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi folks,

our 0.2 version will be rolled out soon.

So it's time to think about our plan for 0.3.

I have attached a draft version of our 0.3 project plan which is written in a special xml format but nevertheless quite readable.
All kinds of feedback and suggestions are appreciated.

-Henrik

	<target_environments>
		<html:div>
			<html:p>
				In order to remain up-to-date, each Eclipse release targets
				reasonably current versions of the underlying operating
				environments. The eTrice project depends upon the Platform and
				other projects, which are mostly "pure" Java. The 0.3.0 release of
				the eTrice Project is written and compiled against the Juno release
				train APIs, and targeted to run on version 1.6 of the
				Java Runtime Environment, Standard Edition. eTrice will be tested
				and validated against a subset of target environments listed for the platform.

		</html:div>
		<internationalization>
			<html:div>
				<html:p>
					eTrice aims at real-time and embedded developers.
					All texts come by default in English only, no
					internationalization is planned.
				</html:p>
			</html:div>
		</internationalization>

	<compatibility_with_previous_releases>
		<html:div>
			<html:p>
				There will be additional features in models and code generators, leading to limited compatibility.

			<description>
				<html:div>
					<html:p>
						Exisiting features will be consolidated. Some minor features are missing in the C generator, others are missing
						in the Java generator. We will add more test to get a better coverage of tested features.
						We will also do some re-factorings and round-offs where appropriate.
