 | 			<h3>What is the game plan?</h3> | 
 | 			<p>  | 
 | 	 		The Eclipse Oxygen Update Release 3 ("Oxygen Update 3 (4.7.3)") endgame involves building  | 
 | 	        a series of release candidates leading to the Eclipse project's contribution to the | 
 | 	        Oxygen Update 3 (4.7.3) release. The Eclipse project version number for this release is 4.7.3. | 
 | 	        By its nature, this update release contains fixes to a small number  | 
 | 	        of serious problems found in the June 2017 Oxygen (4.7) release, , as well as carefully selected | 
 | 	        feature and API additions. The new feature and API additions must be low-risk by nature, as well | 
 | 	        as tested and proven in master before they can be backported. | 
 | 	        We make and verify each changes carefully, so that we do not need to tie up the entire development  | 
 | 	        team in time-consuming test passes. As always, we welcome help from the  | 
 | 	        community with testing the release candidates. By default, Oxygen Update 3 (4.7.3) | 
 | 	        is supposed to work exactly like the initial Oxygen (4.7) release except for the problems we intended  | 
 | 	        to fix. All problems fixed in Oxygen Update 3 (4.7.3) are in the Eclipse bugzilla database  | 
 | 	        and flagged with Target Milestone "4.7.3" (query bugzilla for  | 
 | 	        the <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/buglist.cgi?classification=Eclipse&list_id=17133736&product=Equinox&product=JDT&product=PDE&product=Platform&query_format=advanced&resolution=FIXED&target_milestone=4.7.3&target_milestone=Oxygen.3">complete  | 
 | 	        list of bugs fixed in Oxygen Update 3 (4.7.3)</a>). So we're most interested in identifying  | 
 | 	        regressions where we've changed something that we did not intend to. | 
 | 	        </p>  | 
 |  | 
 | 	        <p>General announcements during the Oxygen Update 3 (4.7.3) endgame are posted to the  | 
 | 	        <a href="http://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/platform-releng-dev">platform-releng-dev@eclipse.org</a>  | 
 | 		    developer mailing list. Anyone participating in the endgame should be subscribed  | 
 | 			to this list, and should direct any general questions and comments about the process  | 
 | 			there as well.</p> | 
 | 			 | 
 | 			<strong>API change approval</strong> | 
 | 	        <p> | 
 | 			No API changes are expected during a update release. Any exception must be | 
 | 			approved by the PMC. No changes are to be released without prior approval | 
 | 			and associated bug report. Please send the request for approval to the eclipse-pmc | 
 | 			mailing list. If a change is made to API to make it binary compatible with | 
 | 			a previous release, technically this is still an API change, and thus it should be treated | 
 | 			in the same way as any other API change requests. | 
 | 			</p> | 
 |  | 
 | 			<strong>Feature work approval</strong> | 
 | 	        <p> | 
 | 			Any feature work must be approved by the PMC. No changes are to be released without prior approval | 
 | 			and associated bug report. Please send the request for approval to the eclipse-pmc | 
 | 			mailing list. | 
 | 			</p> | 
 |  | 
 |  | 
 | 		   <strong>RC1 - Feature and API Freeze</strong> | 
 | 		   <p> | 
 | 		   Release candidate 1 is a warm-up build to ensure the release train build | 
 | 		   process is in place and all projects are making contributions. All fixes submitted  | 
 | 		   to update stream builds must have a component lead or PMC vote on the bug report, | 
 | 		   and the fix must be reviewed by an additional committer (any committer other than | 
 | 		   the one who made the fix). | 
 | 		   <br> | 
 | 		   No new features or APIs are allowed after RC1. | 
 | 		   </p> | 
 |  | 
 | 		   <strong>RC2</strong> | 
 | 		   <p> | 
 | 	        Release candidate containing fixes for the majority of known outstanding  | 
 | 	        defects that we intend to fix for Oxygen Update 3 (4.7.3). At the end of RC2 build,  | 
 | 	        there should not be any open defects tagged 4.7.3. All fixes submitted  | 
 | 	        to the maintenance stream builds must have a component lead or PMC vote on the bug report, | 
 | 	        and the fix must be reviewed by an additional committer (any committer other than | 
 | 	        the one who made the fix). | 
 | 	        </p>       | 
 | 	 | 
 | 	        <strong>Test pass using RC2</strong> | 
 | 	        <p>Concerted 1-day testing effort using RC2 involving entire community including  | 
 | 	        all component teams. The goal is to verify all the fixes and check for any regressions. | 
 | 			</p> | 
 | 	 | 
 | 	        <strong>RC3</strong> | 
 | 	        <p>Release candidate containing fixes for all known outstanding defects | 
 | 	        that we intend to fix for Oxygen Update 3 (4.7.3). All fixes submitted to RC3 must have a PMC vote on the bug report, | 
 | 	        and the fix must be reviewed by an additional committer (any committer other than | 
 | 	        the one who made the fix). | 
 | 	        Ensure that all feature/plugin versions have been consistently incremented when needed. | 
 | 	        </p> | 
 | 	 | 
 | 	        <strong>Test pass using RC3</strong> | 
 | 	        <p>Concerted 1-day testing effort using RC3 involving entire community  | 
 | 	           including all component teams. The goal is to verify all the fixes, check  | 
 | 	           for any regressions and sanity check our RC3 candidate. | 
 | 	         </p> | 
 | 	 | 
 | 	         <strong>RC4</strong> | 
 | 	         <p>Release candidate 4, if required, to fix problems detected during the test pass. | 
 | 	         We expect NO CHANGE at this point. If you find a show stopper, please notify ASAP the  | 
 | 	         <a href="http://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/eclipse-pmc">eclipse-pmc@eclipse.org</a> mailing list. | 
 | 	         All fixes submitted to RC4 must have a PMC vote on the bug report and be reviewed | 
 | 	         by an additional committer (any committer other than the one who made the fix). | 
 | 	         </p> | 
 | 	         <p>No test pass is scheduled unless significant contributions occurred. If so,  | 
 | 	         then Thursday would be elected for a one day test pass</p> | 
 | 	 | 
 | 			<strong>Oxygen Update 3 (4.7.3) Release</strong> | 
 | 			<p>The Oxygen Update 3 (4.7.3) release should be complete and available for download by  | 
 | 	              Wednesday, March 21, 2018 as part of the <a href="https://wiki.eclipse.org/Oxygen/Simultaneous_Release_Plan#Oxygen.3">Oxygen  | 
 | 	              coordinated Update release</a> . If product teams intending  | 
 | 	              to ship on Oxygen Update 3 (4.7.3) uncover further serious defects during the endgame,  | 
 | 	              we may schedule additional release candidate builds to incorporate fixes. |
