<p>This plan is under continuous refinement. Please send comments about this plan to the <a href="mailto:jdt-ui-dev@eclipse.org">jdt-ui-dev@eclipse.org</a> developer mailing list.</p>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> This plan depends on the <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/platform-text/3.4/plan.php">Platform Text Plan</a>.</p>
<h2><a NAME="Overall_Planning"></a>Overall Goals</h2>
<p>This section lists the goals for Eclipse 3.4 for the JDT Text and the JDT UI component as listed on the
<a href="http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/development/eclipse_project_plan_3_4.html">Eclipse Project 3.4 Plan</a>.
</p>
<p>
<strong><a name="1"></a>[1] Performance</strong>.
Monitor overall performance and memory consumption which includes the addition of new performance tests for new features.
</p>
<p>
<strong><a name="2"></a>[2] Reliability</strong>.
Provide APIs for clients where needed and make various improvements to Type Hierarchy and Call Hierarchy.
</p>
<p>
<strong><a name="3"></a>[3] Keep Eclipse vibrant and attractive</strong>.
Deliver new productivity features like rich hovers and additional semantic highlightings. Make the Quick view more
prominent and let them display Javadoc like the content assistant does.
</p>
