+ <td class="content">
+ <p>
+ API Tools now provides support for using annotations to describe your API usage. Prior to the new annotation support you would have, for example,
+ used the <code>@noreference</code> Javadoc tag to indicate noone should use the tagged type / member. Now you can add the <code>@NoReference</code>
+ annotation (in Java 1.5+ source) to the member directly without the need for Javadoc.
+ </p>
+ <img src="images/annotation-example.png" alt="The @NoExtend annotation being used on a class"/>
+ <p>
+ To make the transition from Javadoc tags to the new annotation support, API Tools provides a conversion wizard that is found
+ using the <strong>Plug-in Tools > Convert API Tools Javadoc tags...</strong> command for a selected project. The wizard can convert all existing Javadoc tags to their annotation
+ equivalent, update the <code>build.properties</code> file and optionally remove all of the old Javadoc tags.

+ In 4.4 M2 you could add the target platform indicator to the status bar allowing easy access to the preferences to customize it. Now this
+ indicator has been updated to show problems with the target platform (if any). The state of the target platform is immediately apparent based on its
+ icon / decoration and any problems are added to the tooltip.
