<introduction>
<html:div>
<html:p>
This document lays out the feature and API set for the first release of TMF Xtext project,version 0.7.0.
This project plan inherits from the Modeling Project Plan, which should be referenced when consulting this individual project plan.
</html:p>
</html:div>
</introduction>
<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 source code release, available as versions tagged "R0_7" in the project's CVS repository.</html:li>
<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 Galileo 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 3.5 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.
Xtext will target the same Java version as EMF, which currently requires Java 5.
Eclipse Platform SDK 3.5 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>

<compatibility_with_previous_releases>
<html:div>
Compatibility of Galileo Release: The Xtext project will be developed in
parallel, and released simultaneously, with the following projects.

Performance and scalability improvements are one of the main reasons,
why we decided to reimplement Xtext as opposed to built upon the existing code from openArchitectureWare 4.3.
