<target_environments>
<html:div>
In order to remain current, each Eclipse release targets
reasonably
current versions of the underlying operating environments.
The ATL
project depends upon on the Platform and other projects, which
are
mostly "pure" Java. The 3.5 release of the Eclipse Platform
Project
is written and compiled against version 1.4 of the Java
Platform
APIs, and targeted to run on version 1.4 of the Java Runtime
Environment, Standard Edition. ATL will target the same Java version
as the platform.
</html:div>
<internationalization>
<html:div>
The Eclipse Platform is designed as the basis for
internationalized
products. The user interface elements provided by
the Eclipse SDK
components, including dialogs and error messages, are
externalized.
The English strings are provided as the default
resource bundles. As
a result, the ATL project will provide English
strings in its
default bundles and be localized to a subset of those
locales
offered by the Platform. This plan will be updated to
indicate which
locales will be provided and the time frame for
availability.

<compatibility_with_previous_releases>
