| <p><img src="http://dev.eclipse.org/images/Adarrow.gif" |
| nosave="" border="0" height="16" width="16"> Improve support for ISVs |
| creating Team plugins<br> |
| <br> |
| In 2.0 Team plugins could easily integrate into the workbench but contrary |
| to 1.0 we didn't provide many re-useable Team specific views/actions. |
| This meant that a substantial amount of work was required to write a |
| plugin that has the same level of integration as CVS. </p> |
