| Improve overall performance and stabilize on memory consumption. This |
| includes open editor, quick diff, open quick outline, typing speed, |
| redraw behavior, scrolling. Define a set of scenarios and assign to |
| each scenario a concrete performance goal. <b>[Built to last]</b> |

| Write stable and if possible automated performance and memory footprint |
| tests for Text and Java editors and some of its actions. A testing |
| framework should be provided which enables to write stable performance |

| that performance and memory consumption of editor related tasks like |
| opening, typing, scrolling and Quick Diff can be monitored.<b> </b>Investigate |

| <ul> |
| <li><span style="font-style: italic;">Ensure Java Editor and all its |
| J2SE 1.4 coding features work with new JLS3 AST</span><br> |
| The first priority is to get the same product quality when coding |
| against J2SE 1.4 as we have with Eclipse SDK 3.0. JDT text code needs |
| to be adapted to the new JLS3 AST and ensured that it is not broken |
| by new Java element types and deltas. Affected areas are syntax highlighting, |
| occurrence marking and Java outline page.<br> |
| </li> |
| <li><span style="font-style: italic;">Enable Java coding against J2SE 5.0</span><br> |
| Existing features like syntax highlighting, occurrence marking, auto-indentation, |
| Java Outline page and formatting need to be made J2SE 5.0 aware. |
| </li> |
| <li><span style="font-style: italic;">Add new features for J2SE 5.0</span><br> |
| New features include annotation folding, matching < bracket support, |
| auto insertion of closing >, new keyword and syntax highlighting, |
| e.g. for generics and enums, and new templates. Provide hover support |
| for annotations such as @override.</p> |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| <li> [investigate] Contribute to the resolution of the "many errors" |
| issue. (cross team issue) |
| <ul> |
| <li> If a project is improperly setup, opening a file of that project |
| can result in lots of temporary problems. On open, the editor could |
| propose to filter all ripple errors and to show only relevant errors.</li> |
| <li>When auto-build is enabled, the editor can warn the user when a |
| file is saved for which temporary errors exist.</li> |
| </ul> |
