| <introduction> |
| <html:div> |
| <html:p> |
| This document lays out the feature and API set for the next version of the Xtext (version 0.8.0). |
| This project plan inherits from the Modeling Project Plan, which should be referenced when consulting this individual project plan. |

| <release_deliverables> |
| <html:div> |
| The release deliverables have the same form as is found in most Eclipse projects, namely: |
| <html:p> |
| <html:ul> |
| <html:li>TMF Xtext SDK (includes runtime and tooling components, with sources, examples, and documentation) (downloadable and update site).</html:li> |
| <html:li>TMF Xtext runtime binary distribution (downloadable and update site).</html:li> |
| <html:li>TMF Xtext tests (downloadable and update site)</html:li> |
| </html:ul> |
| </html:p> |
| </html:div> |
| </release_deliverables> |
| <release_milestones> |
| <preamble> |
| <html:div> |
| Release milestone occurring at roughly 6 week intervals and follow the Platform milestone releases by approximately 2 weeks; |
| that is, until the final 3.5 release of the Platform, upon which Xtext and other projects will release simultaneously. |
| As Xtext is dependent upon the EMF, and other projects, which are scheduled to release milestones within 1 week of Platform milestones, |
| Xtext will deliver its milestones within the following week. |
| It is anticipated that Xtext will synchronize its release milestones with the Helios release schedule. |

| <target_environments> |
| <html:div> |
| In order to remain current, each Eclipse release targets reasonably current versions of the underlying operating environments. |
| The Xtext project depends upon on the Platform and other projects, which are mostly "pure" Java. |
| The 3.6 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. |
| Xtext will target the same Java version as EMF, which currently requires Java 5. |
| Eclipse Platform SDK 3.6 will be tested and validated on a number of reference platforms. |
| Xtext will be tested and validated against a subset of those listed for the platform. |
| Those available will be presented on the project download site. |
| </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 Xtext 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. |
| </html:div> |
| </internationalization> --> |

| <description> |
| <html:div> |
| One of our guiding principles is "make common things easier and rare things possible" suggests that we focus on extensibility as well as |
| on simplicity with regards to all kinds of API. In Helios we want to allow Xtext to be used in more situations by providing an easy to reuse base language. |
