-<p>This document defines the rules and criteria for participating in
-the yearly Simultaneous Release. There are more criteria than when
-releasing at other times partially because there are more projects
-releasing at once, so the workload needs to streamlined and made more
-uniform. More important, the extra criteria are included by mutual
-agreement between projects (via their representatives to Planning
-Council) so that as a whole, the release will be of better quality,
-maintainability, and improved consumability by adopters.</p>
-<p>The spirit of this document should not be so much as a "contract"
-of what has to be done to release, but instead as an agreement to make
-the Yearly Release good, if not great! While each Project does their
-individual things to make the Release great, this document and process
-describe how we as a group document the achievement of our agreement. We
-are always open to better agreements and better documentation of our
-achievements so feel free to keep track and make suggestions
-year-to-year (preferably through your Planning Council representative)
-on how to make our yearly release better. In fact, occasionally changes
-may be made to this document for clarity or to improve reference links
-throughout the development cycle, but nothing new that would change
-work-load will be added after M4.</p>
-<p>To foster communication and flexibility where required, any
-exceptions to these criteria or deadlines will follow the <a
-	href="#pcExceptionProcess">Planning Council Exception Process</a>.</p>
-<p>The requirements are divided into three categories:</p>
-<ol>
-	<li>Requirements to be released as part of the &quot;yearly
-	release&quot;, normal release requirements, done earlier than usual.</li>
-	<li>Requirements to be part of the Common Discovery Site
-	repository and, consequently, the minimum requirements to be part of
-	EPP packages.</li>
-	<li>Requirements to demonstrate good Eclipse Citizenship,
-	following &quot;the Eclipse Way&quot;.</li>
-</ol>
-
-<h2>Do the basics ... early</h2>
-<p>The requirements and conditions stated in this section are the
-basic minimum required for a project to claim they are part of the
-yearly Simultaneous Release.</p>
-<p>To join a Simultaneous Release, Projects must have stated their
-intent to do so, and be in a build for the composite site aggregation by
-M4, at the latest. For projects continuing from previous years, the
-expectation is they will be in M1, unless they formally withdraw.</p>
-<p>The &quot;statement of intent&quot; is done formally by marking
-the &quot;Simultaneous Release Flag&quot; in the project's Portal
-meta-data.</p>
-<h3>Planning</h3>
-<p>All projects must have their project plan in the Eclipse
-Foundation standard XML Format (a normal Eclipse requirement).
-Committing to be in the Simultaneous Release means you commit to having
-these plans early: M2, for those projects that already know they will be
-in the Simultaneous Release, M4 will be the latest possible time, for
-those projects that are new to the Simultaneous Release Train and decide
-to join after M2. The plans should be updated periodically as things
-change, or as items are completed.</p>
-<p>Also, for long term planning, remember that being in a
-Simultaneous Release also means a commitment to participating the SR1
-and SR2 simultaneous maintenance releases.</p>
-<p><b>Joining implies continuous participation. </b> After a
-release, there are two follow on activities that must be planned for.
-First is that releases maintenance stream. The second is the subquent
-year's release. In both cases, it is (as always) up to the project to
-decide what to fix or what to enhance, but being part of the train
-implies you will always be able to build, in maintenance and in the
-subsequent release's milestone builds. Sometimes this means simply
-leaving repositories intact, etc., but occasionally projects may need to
-fix "prereqs" or similar. Put another way, being part of the
-Simultaneous Release is not a &quot;one time&quot; activity, covering
-only the literal release date and not even a &quot;part time&quot;
-activity covering only part of the yearly development cycle. Instead it
-is a commitment to stay &quot;simultaneous&quot; on an on-going basis.
-Once in, if projects decide to not be part of future simultaneious
-releases, they need to communicate that widely, and as early as
-possible, since could effect adopters or downstream projects.</p>
-
-
-<h3>IP Documentation</h3>
-<p>Projects must have their IP Logs approved (a normal Eclipse
-requirement) and will follow the Eclipse Legal deadlines to do so. In
-addition, drafts of the Projects IP Logs must be available early,
-starting with M5. The development process requires the IP Log to always
-be accurate, but experience shows there's always some issues that have
-to be resolved, or fixed, before release (for example, sometimes a CQ
-might have the wrong flag, and cause it to not show up in the Auto IP
-Log). It is expected the IP Logs should be relatively complete by M7. If
-Projects have changes come in after M7 they can update until the
-deadline set by the IP staff (usually RC2). The purpose of having these
-early drafts is so that projects get familiar with what's required, and
-do not allow work to build up at the end, also to allow questions to
-come up, and have time to find answers, and also to allow time for
-issues with automatic IP tools to be addressed. Some adopters will want
-to look at these early drafts to see what 3rd party requirements are
-associated with the code.</p>
-<p>Being in the Simultaneous Release will give your IP some higher
-priority in getting evaluated, in order to make the date. The higher
-priority treatment is only for the 5 months or so before the release
-(after the deadline for CQs). The reason being, of course, is that the
-rest of the year the IP staff must also get work done for maintenance
-releases and projects not on the release train. During that part of the
-year (roughly July to February every year) all CQs are prioritized in a
-uniform way.</p>
-<h3 id="pcReleaseReview">Release Review</h3>
-<p>The release review archival materials must be complete by the
-date specified by the EMO, which is usually staged in earlier than for a
-usual release. (Typically RC2.)</p>
-<p>A Project's PMC must approve the projects request for review (a
-normal Eclipse requirement). In addition, to help organize and
-streamline the yearly Simultaneous release, a PMC must provide their
-approval in writing, in the form of a short summary of their projects
-that are requesting review and summary of the PMC's discussion or method
-of approving them. (This is meant to be very brief, such as 1/2 to 1
-page). The short summary can be documented in a mailing list, PMC
-Meeting notes, or even a wiki document. A pointer (URL) to the document
-should be provided to EMO, and will be included in the same notice to
-the community that provides pointers to the Project Docuware.</p>
-<p>The public review calls will be organized based on Top Level
-Project, and at least one PMC member should be on that call to give very
-brief overview of projects that are requesting the release review (not
-to exceed 5 minutes, at the very most).</p>
-<p>In addition to the ordinarily required Release Review Archival
-Materials, all Projects participating in yearly Release agree to provide
-a checklist-with-detail form that describes their compliance (or not)
-with all of the criteria items described in this document. May be in the form of providing a URL 
-to the checklist, ideally as part of the normal docuware. Note that
-this checklist-with-detail must be updated every milestone as things are
-completed, or details added, so progress can be reviewed by Planning
-Council and potential adopters. The primary report of compliance with
-the checklist must be provided at least at the level of a Top Level
-Project. In some cases, such as if sub-projects are very independent of
-each other, PMCs may decide to document things at a subproject level,
-and then &quot;roll-up&quot; to a Top Level document, or, if a Top Level
-Project is known to be uniform and &quot;close knit&quot; then they may
-provide one summary document that applies to all sub-projects.</p>
-<p></p>
-<h2>Play well with others ... to be in common repository</h2>
-<p>The requirements in this section must be met for a project to be
-on the common, central repository (e.g. /releases/helios) for end users
-to discover easily and minimum requirements to be included in EPP
-Packages. The criteria in this section are designed to make sure
-projects work relatively well, and work well together. This is
-especially required for adopters who may be using these projects in
-complicated, interwoven ways so each piece of the puzzle must fit
-together well and be dependable and be maintainable, as well as being on
-time and IP clean.</p>
-<p><b>Communication</b>:
-<p>At least one person from each project in a Simultaneous Release
-must subscribe to cross-project mailing list, since that is the primary
-communication channel for issues related to the Simultaneous Release.
-Also, at least one person from each project must subscribe to
-cross-project bugzilla inbox, as that is the primary bugzilla components
-for bugs that are truly cross-project, or bugs which are not known to be
-in one particular component.</p>
-<p>Your representative to the Planning Council, either from PMC or
-Strategic Member, must attend PC meetings and represent you there.
-Presumably, of course, after meeting or communicating with you and the
-other projects they represent, so they can fairly bring forward concerns
-and vote on issue that effect all projects, if required. Put another
-way, by committing to be in the Simultaneous Release, you agree to abide
-by all the Planning Council decisions and rules, so be sure your
-representative understands your project and your situation.</p>
-<p>Build team members (or their designated alternates) from each
-project may be asked to provide direct communication channels: phone,
-mail, IM, IRC and at least one build team member must be &quot;on
-call&quot; during the milestone integration periods.</p>
-<p><b>API</b>. Projects should leverage only published APIs of
-dependencies. All deviations must be documented in bugzillas. These
-bugzillas may be of the type that a dependent project should provide a
-required API, or of the type that a consuming project must move to some
-API that already exists. Note that technically there is no obligation
-for consumed projects to provide API that is requested ... that depends
-on many things ... but the main goal of requiring these bugzilla entries
-is to provide some documentation and measure of the amount of risk
-associated with non-API use.</p>
-<p><b>Message Bundles</b>. Projects must use <a
-	href="http://help.eclipse.org/galileo/topic/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/reference/misc/message_bundles.html">
-Eclipse message bundles</a> unless there are technical reasons not to.</p>
-<p><b>Version Numbering</b>. Projects must use 4-part <a
-	href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/Version_Numbering">version numbers</a>.</p>
-<p><b>OSGi bundle format</b>. All plug-ins (bundles) must use the
-true bundle form. That is, provide a manifest.mf file, and not rely on
-the plugin.xml file being 'translated' into a manifest.mf file at
-initial startup. With that, empty plugin.xml files in the presence of a
-manifest.mf file should not be included in a bundle. (For some old
-history, see <a
-	href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=130598">bug
-130598</a>.)</p>
-
-<p><b>Execution Environment</b>. All plug-ins must <a
-	href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/Execution_Environments">correctly
-list their Bundle Required Execution Environment (BREE)</a>.</p>
-
-<p><b>Signing</b>. Projects must use <a
-	href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/JAR_Signing">signed plugins using the
-Eclipse certificate</a>.</p>
-
-<p><b>Jarred Bundles</b>. Projects must use jarred plug-ins (with
-unpack=false) unless there are technical reasons not to do so. Also,
-nested jars should be avoided if possible since it creates problems for
-projects that has dependencies to such plug-ins. The OSGi runtime is
-fine with it but the PDE environment is not able to handle classpaths
-that contain nested jars. Exceptions to these principles should be
-documented by the project, so we can learn the reasons and extent of
-unjarred bundles.</p>
-<p><b>Re-use and share</b><b> </b>common third party jars. Any
-third-party plug-ins that are common between projects must be consumed
-via <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/orbit">Orbit</a>; a Simultaneous
-Release will not have duplicate third-party libraries (note that this
-only applies to identical versions of the libraries; thus if project A
-requires foo.jar 1.6 and project B uses foo.jar 1.7, that's ok, as long
-as it is required and has a documented reason).</p>
-
-<p><b>Optimization</b>. Projects must <a
-	href="http://help.eclipse.org/galileo/topic/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/guide/p2_repositorytasks.htm">
-optimize their p2 repositories</a> to reduce bandwidth utilization and
-provide a better install and update experience for users.</p>
-<p><b>Provide p2 repository</b>. Projects must provide their own
-project p2 repository for their own project and updates. In addition,
-they must provide their archives and metadata in a specified format and
-method to allow at least parts of their repository to be aggregated and
-mirrored to a common repository. The <a
-	href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/Indigo/Contributing_to_Indigo_Build">current
-process</a> may be modified throughout the year, if improvements can be
-made. Clarification on 03/31/2010: Note that a project's
-repositories must contain original (conditioned) jars, and pack.gz files (where
-original jar means the jar produced by the build, but which has been
-conditioned for pack200). Clarification on 11/08/2010: feature
-&quot;includes&quot; must be strict, that is &quot;include&quot; an
-exact version of that other feature. This is required so installs and
-builds can be repeatable independent of the exact day of the install or
-the exact repos enabled. This is the way things are, and have been for years, 
-and this statement is just making it explicit. 
-While there may, in the future, be new
-mechanisms that allow some &quot;line up collection&quot; to be
-specified, it will be something new, not the feature
-&quot;includes&quot; element.</p>
-<p><b>Support Translations</b>. All strings must be externalized,
-and Projects must participate in Babel, meaning it is registered and
-available for string translation, etc. Projects must freeze the UI
-sufficiently early to allow the Babel project time to translate strings
-so there can be simultaneous release of translated versions. The UI
-should be frozen by M6 (a "freeze" all major changes and additions are
-done by M6, and changes after that are done in a controlled, well
-documented fashion, so Babel translators can more easily &quot;keep
-up&quot; with late changes).</p>
-<p><b>Excel in NL support</b>. The Project must use <a
-	href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/ICU4J">ICU4J</a>, where appropriate, to
-excel in NL support. (The latest ICU4J bundles will be in Orbit).</p>
-<p><b>Branding</b>. Each major project (as determined by
-participating PMCs) must have an 'About' dialog icon with hover text
-that displays the provider name. Every plug-in and feature must specify
-a descriptive provider-name (for features), or Bundle-Vendor header (for
-plug-ins), as determined by the project's PMC (e.g. "Eclipse Modeling
-Project" rather than "Eclipse.org"). Also, Projects must contribute to
-the welcome page when appropriate.</p>
-
-
-
-
-
-<p><b>Do No Harm.</b> Projects must work together in any combination
-of any install. Put another way, this means that users can install any
-subset of the projects participating in Simultaneous Release, and each
-of the installed projects will work as well as if it had been loaded
-independently. If such a problem is identified, the affected projects
-must track down and fix the problem.</p>
-<p><b>License text consistency</b>. Use standard forms of license
-documents so it is displayed in the most usable, and concise way during
-install and update. It is a normal requirement to use a standard <a
-	href="http://www.eclipse.org/legal/epl/about.php">Eclipse
-Foundation &quot;about&quot; template</a>, but where those templates are
-edited by each project, care must be taken to be sure they are edited in
-similar ways. That is, substantial differences are fine, if required, but we need to avoid minor differences based on case, 
-arbitrary dates, and formatting.  Note that the Eclipse Foundation's license or user
-agreement files may change from year to year (such as, see <a
-	href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=316152">bug
-316152</a>) but ideally in Indigo and future releases, it will be easier to
-point to a &quot;symbolic&quot; representation of the license, so it
-will be accurate with less manual updates from each project (see <a
-	href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=306818">bug
-306818</a>).</p>
-
-<p><b>Support Primary Eclipse Platform to be in EPP Package.</b> For
-Indigo, that means EPP packages (and the features and bundles that go
-into them) must be built on and tested with Eclipse 3.7.</p>
-<h2>Be a good Eclipse Citizen ... and document it</h2>
-<p>Projects should exhibit good Eclipse Citizenship, to Release and
-participate in Common Discovery Site and EPP Packages. These are often
-&quot;best practices&quot; that some projects have found helpful at
-Eclipse. These criteria often speak to the quality of the Project, as an
-Eclipse Project, as opposed to their code or architecture. They are a
-bit more subjective than some of the other criteria, and the relevancy
-to any particular project may not be as universal, so there is no set
-number of items to satisfy. But, it is required that each project
-document their level of compliance to each item. Especially good Eclipse
-Citizens will get a gold star, and especially bad ones might get a
-frowny face.</p>
-<p><b>Engage Community</b>. The Project should actively engage their
-community to get feedback on milestone builds, and document how they do
-that. One way to do this is to have a <a
-	href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/Architecture_Council/New_and_Noteworthy">New
-&amp; Noteworthy</a> for each milestone. New and Noteworthy documents should
-be something readable and usable not just a static list of all the bugs.
-Corollary: individual new &amp; noteworthy should be linked in to the
-collective New &amp; Noteworthy.</p>
-<p><b>Usability</b>. Should follow the <a
-	href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/User_Interface_Guidelines">User
-Interface Guidelines</a>. The <a href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/UI_Checklist">UI
-Checklist</a> is a good place to start. Also, should participate in a <a
-	href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/User_Interface_Best_Practices_Working_Group">User
-Interface Best Practices Working Group</a> <a
-	href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/UIBPWG_UI_Walkthrough"> UI
-walkthrough</a>.</p>
-<p><b>Performance</b>. Project should have measurable performance
-criteria that are regularly tested against. Projects should devote at
-least one milestone to performance and scalability improvements.</p>
-<p><b>Test Localization</b>. The project should use the <a
-	href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=217339">Babel
-Pseudo Translation Test</a> to verify their translatability. [Need better
-reference link.]</p>
-<p><b>Capabilities</b>. Each project should provide basic
-capability/activity definitions to allow for their UI contributions to
-be hidden. These can be provided in a separate plugins and feature to
-facilitate inclusion and reuse by consumers, or ... as most projects do
-... simply document some examples, so adopters can create their own, or
-reuse via copy/paste. Ideally, projects should also provide triggers to
-facilitate progressive discovery of functionality (but, not many do,
-other than the Platform). As with other &quot;good citizen&quot; items,
-projects are free to document &quot;we don't do this&quot; ... but, then
-at least it is known and better communicated.</p>
-<p><b>Enable Use with All Languages</b>. Should design and test for
-enabling all languages including bidi, unicode characters, etc. This is
-different than "translating" the program. For example, while using an
-English version of Eclipse Web Tools, someone should be able to create a
-Chinese language web application. [Need "how to" reference link.]</p>
-<p><b>Builds</b>. Projects must have a mature, stable build process:
-documented, scripted, repeatable, and executable by others.</p>
-<p><b>Ramp Down Planned and Defined</b>. Projects must have a
-written ramp down policy by M6, at the latest, and provide link. The
-plan should describe when the project plans to be feature complete, have
-API frozen, and similar. See <a
-	href="http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/development/freeze_plan_3.5.php">Platform
-3.5 Endgame plan</a> as a guideline. See also <a
-	href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/indigoPlan/index.php?title=Indigo/Final_Daze&amp;action=edit">Indigo
-Final Daze</a>.)</p>
-<p><b>Accessibility</b>. Projects should design and test for
-accessibility compliance, following established guidelines and Eclipse
-fundamental techniques to achieve accessibility. Projects must document
-their accessibility work and compliance. Ideally this would be by using
-a publicly available checklists, such as</p>
-<ul>
-	<li><a
-		href="http://www.itic.org/resources/voluntary-product-accessibility-template-vpat/">http://www.itic.org/resources/voluntary-product-accessibility-template-vpat/
-	</a></li>
-	<li><a href="http://www.section508.gov/">http://www.section508.gov/</a></li>
-	<li><a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG/">http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG/</a></li>
-</ul>
-<p>but, given the <a
-	href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/Planning_Council/Cross_Project_Teams/Accessibility">advice
-of the Accessibility Cross Project Team</a>, for this year's
-Simultaneous Release, projects can document their work or compliance as
-a negative, such as "we did not do any accessibility work or testing and
-do not know the degree of our compliance". But its important to
-document, so adopters know. If possible, and appropriate, accessibility
-testing tools can be leveraged such as <a
-	href="http://www.nvda-project.org/">NVDA</a>. The main <a
-	href="http://www.eclipse.org/articles/article.php?file=Article-Accessibility351/index.html">accessibility
-article at Eclipse Corner</a> has been made current (thanks goes to Todd
-Creasey).</p>
-
-<p><b>Unit Tests</b>. Projects must have some unit tests that can
-verify at least basic functionality of a build or distribution. The
-steps to build and run the tests must be documented and executable by
-others.</p>
-<p><b>API Policy</b> Defined and Documented. Typically would include
-how 'APIs' are distinguished from non-API and 'provisional' API, if any.
-It is recommended that non-API be marked with x-internal in the bundles
-manifest. Also, should include what the commitment is to API, how long
-maintained after deprecated, etc. As one example, see <a
-	href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/WTP_API_Policy">WTP API Policy</a>.</p>
-
-<p><b>Retention Policy.</b> Projects should define and document
-their retention policy. This should include both zip distributions and
-repositories. For examples, see <a
-	href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/WTP/Retention_Policy">WTP Retention
-Policy</a> and <a
-	href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse_Project_Update_Sites">Eclipse
-Project Update Sites</a></p>
-<p><b>Project Metrics.</b> Projects should provide some summary
-metrics, such as number of bundles, number of committers, lines of code,
-number of bugs opened and fixed. This is so some statements can be made
-and tracked year-to-year about the size of the simultaneous release.</p>
-
-<p><b>Specify in Plans, support for auxiliary, or future Eclipse
-Platforms.</b> For Indigo, this means that each project needs to have a
-section (or theme) in their plans (and, that's the standard format
-plan), on how they intend to support Eclipse 4.1. The ideal statement
-would be to the effect that the project will run and has been tested on
-4.1. And, projects that exploit anything specific to 4.1 should explain
-that too. Naturally, since each project has their own plans and
-priorities, and one possibility is to plan "no support, no testing on
-4.1". The purpose of this requirement is to be clear on your plans and
-communicate those to the community.</p>
-
-<p></p>
-<h1>Additional Information</h1>
-<h2><a name="pcExceptionProcess">Planning Council Exception
-Process</a></h2>
-<p>Exceptions for any rule or schedule can be made if there are good
-enough reasons to. This same exception process will be followed for
-things like &quot;requests to respin&quot; a build after a deadline. The
-process to get any exception must be open and well documented and follow
-these steps:</p>
-<p>First, the Project's PMC must approve the request for an
-exception and it is the PMC (not the Project) that makes the request to
-the Planning Council. The Planning Council member that represents the
-PMC would bring the issue forward to the Planning Council.</p>
-<p>Second, the exception requires at least 3 positive votes from
-active Planning Council members and no negative votes. When time is a
-factor (e.g. requests for rebuilds) the deadline for voicing a negative
-vote is basically by the time 3 votes are documented. But when time is
-not a factor, such as when requesting an exception to one of the
-criteria, then a period of one week will pass before being final, to
-allow times for concerns or negative votes to be voiced even after 3
-positive votes. If there are not enough positive votes within one week,
-then the request for exception will be considered 'failed'. Note that
-&quot;3&quot; was chosen under the assumption that the Planning Council
-member representing the PMC would vote for it (since that PMC must
-approve it initially) so that means 2 others must also vote for it, for
-3 total.</p>
-<p>Depending on the timing, the issue and votes will be documented
-in either the Planning Council Meeting minutes, or on the Planning
-Council mailing list. If possible, some automatation may be added to the
-release reporting tool to aid this documentation.</p>

+
+<p>This document defines the rules and criteria for participating in
+the yearly Simultaneous Release. There are more criteria than when
+releasing at other times partially because there are more projects
+releasing at once, so the workload needs to streamlined and made more
+uniform. More important, the extra criteria are included by mutual
+agreement between projects (via their representatives to Planning
+Council) so that as a whole, the release will be of better quality,
+maintainability, and improved consumability by adopters.</p>
+<p>The spirit of this document should not be so much as a "contract"
+of what has to be done to release, but instead as an agreement to make
+the Yearly Release good, if not great! While each Project does their
+individual things to make the Release great, this document and process
+describe how we as a group document the achievement of our agreement. We
+are always open to better agreements and better documentation of our
+achievements so feel free to keep track and make suggestions
+year-to-year (preferably through your Planning Council representative)
+on how to make our yearly release better. In fact, occasionally changes
+may be made to this document for clarity or to improve reference links
+throughout the development cycle, but nothing new that would change
+work-load will be added after M4.</p>
+<p>To foster communication and flexibility where required, any
+exceptions to these criteria or deadlines will follow the <a
+	href="#pcExceptionProcess">Planning Council Exception Process</a>.</p>
+<p>The requirements are divided into three categories:</p>
+<ol>
+	<li>Requirements to be released as part of the &quot;yearly
+	release&quot;, normal release requirements, done earlier than usual.</li>
+	<li>Requirements to be part of the Common Discovery Site
+	repository and, consequently, the minimum requirements to be part of
+	EPP packages.</li>
+	<li>Requirements to demonstrate good Eclipse Citizenship,
+	following &quot;the Eclipse Way&quot;.</li>
+</ol>
+
+<h2>Do the basics ... early</h2>
+<p>The requirements and conditions stated in this section are the
+basic minimum required for a project to claim they are part of the
+yearly Simultaneous Release.</p>
+<p>To join a Simultaneous Release, Projects must have stated their
+intent to do so, and be in a build for the composite site aggregation by
+M4, at the latest. For projects continuing from previous years, the
+expectation is they will be in M1, unless they formally withdraw.</p>
+<p>The &quot;statement of intent&quot; is done formally by marking
+the &quot;Simultaneous Release Flag&quot; in the project's Portal
+meta-data.</p>
+<h3>Planning</h3>
+<p>All projects must have their project plan in the Eclipse
+Foundation standard XML Format (a normal Eclipse requirement).
+Committing to be in the Simultaneous Release means you commit to having
+these plans early: M2, for those projects that already know they will be
+in the Simultaneous Release, M4 will be the latest possible time, for
+those projects that are new to the Simultaneous Release Train and decide
+to join after M2. The plans should be updated periodically as things
+change, or as items are completed.</p>
+<p>Also, for long term planning, remember that being in a
+Simultaneous Release also means a commitment to participating the SR1
+and SR2 simultaneous maintenance releases.</p>
+<p><b>Joining implies continuous participation. </b> After a
+release, there are two follow on activities that must be planned for.
+First is that releases maintenance stream. The second is the subquent
+year's release. In both cases, it is (as always) up to the project to
+decide what to fix or what to enhance, but being part of the train
+implies you will always be able to build, in maintenance and in the
+subsequent release's milestone builds. Sometimes this means simply
+leaving repositories intact, etc., but occasionally projects may need to
+fix "prereqs" or similar. Put another way, being part of the
+Simultaneous Release is not a &quot;one time&quot; activity, covering
+only the literal release date and not even a &quot;part time&quot;
+activity covering only part of the yearly development cycle. Instead it
+is a commitment to stay &quot;simultaneous&quot; on an on-going basis.
+Once in, if projects decide to not be part of future simultaneious
+releases, they need to communicate that widely, and as early as
+possible, since could effect adopters or downstream projects.</p>
+
+
+<h3>IP Documentation</h3>
+<p>Projects must have their IP Logs approved (a normal Eclipse
+requirement) and will follow the Eclipse Legal deadlines to do so. In
+addition, drafts of the Projects IP Logs must be available early,
+starting with M5. The development process requires the IP Log to always
+be accurate, but experience shows there's always some issues that have
+to be resolved, or fixed, before release (for example, sometimes a CQ
+might have the wrong flag, and cause it to not show up in the Auto IP
+Log). It is expected the IP Logs should be relatively complete by M7. If
+Projects have changes come in after M7 they can update until the
+deadline set by the IP staff (usually RC2). The purpose of having these
+early drafts is so that projects get familiar with what's required, and
+do not allow work to build up at the end, also to allow questions to
+come up, and have time to find answers, and also to allow time for
+issues with automatic IP tools to be addressed. Some adopters will want
+to look at these early drafts to see what 3rd party requirements are
+associated with the code.</p>
+<p>Being in the Simultaneous Release will give your IP some higher
+priority in getting evaluated, in order to make the date. The higher
+priority treatment is only for the 5 months or so before the release
+(after the deadline for CQs). The reason being, of course, is that the
+rest of the year the IP staff must also get work done for maintenance
+releases and projects not on the release train. During that part of the
+year (roughly July to February every year) all CQs are prioritized in a
+uniform way.</p>
+<h3 id="pcReleaseReview">Release Review</h3>
+<p>The release review archival materials must be complete by the
+date specified by the EMO, which is usually staged in earlier than for a
+usual release. (Typically RC2.)</p>
+<p>A Project's PMC must approve the projects request for review (a
+normal Eclipse requirement). In addition, to help organize and
+streamline the yearly Simultaneous release, a PMC must provide their
+approval in writing, in the form of a short summary of their projects
+that are requesting review and summary of the PMC's discussion or method
+of approving them. (This is meant to be very brief, such as 1/2 to 1
+page). The short summary can be documented in a mailing list, PMC
+Meeting notes, or even a wiki document. A pointer (URL) to the document
+should be provided to EMO, and will be included in the same notice to
+the community that provides pointers to the Project Docuware.</p>
+<p>The public review calls will be organized based on Top Level
+Project, and at least one PMC member should be on that call to give very
+brief overview of projects that are requesting the release review (not
+to exceed 5 minutes, at the very most).</p>
+<p>In addition to the ordinarily required Release Review Archival
+Materials, all Projects participating in yearly Release agree to provide
+a checklist-with-detail form that describes their compliance (or not)
+with all of the criteria items described in this document. May be in the form of providing a URL 
+to the checklist, ideally as part of the normal docuware. Note that
+this checklist-with-detail must be updated every milestone as things are
+completed, or details added, so progress can be reviewed by Planning
+Council and potential adopters. The primary report of compliance with
+the checklist must be provided at least at the level of a Top Level
+Project. In some cases, such as if sub-projects are very independent of
+each other, PMCs may decide to document things at a subproject level,
+and then &quot;roll-up&quot; to a Top Level document, or, if a Top Level
+Project is known to be uniform and &quot;close knit&quot; then they may
+provide one summary document that applies to all sub-projects.</p>
+<p></p>
+<h2>Play well with others ... to be in common repository</h2>
+<p>The requirements in this section must be met for a project to be
+on the common, central repository (e.g. /releases/helios) for end users
+to discover easily and minimum requirements to be included in EPP
+Packages. The criteria in this section are designed to make sure
+projects work relatively well, and work well together. This is
+especially required for adopters who may be using these projects in
+complicated, interwoven ways so each piece of the puzzle must fit
+together well and be dependable and be maintainable, as well as being on
+time and IP clean.</p>
+<p><b>Communication</b>:
+<p>At least one person from each project in a Simultaneous Release
+must subscribe to cross-project mailing list, since that is the primary
+communication channel for issues related to the Simultaneous Release.
+Also, at least one person from each project must subscribe to
+cross-project bugzilla inbox, as that is the primary bugzilla components
+for bugs that are truly cross-project, or bugs which are not known to be
+in one particular component.</p>
+<p>Your representative to the Planning Council, either from PMC or
+Strategic Member, must attend PC meetings and represent you there.
+Presumably, of course, after meeting or communicating with you and the
+other projects they represent, so they can fairly bring forward concerns
+and vote on issue that effect all projects, if required. Put another
+way, by committing to be in the Simultaneous Release, you agree to abide
+by all the Planning Council decisions and rules, so be sure your
+representative understands your project and your situation.</p>
+<p>Build team members (or their designated alternates) from each
+project may be asked to provide direct communication channels: phone,
+mail, IM, IRC and at least one build team member must be &quot;on
+call&quot; during the milestone integration periods.</p>
+<p><b>API</b>. Projects should leverage only published APIs of
+dependencies. All deviations must be documented in bugzillas. These
+bugzillas may be of the type that a dependent project should provide a
+required API, or of the type that a consuming project must move to some
+API that already exists. Note that technically there is no obligation
+for consumed projects to provide API that is requested ... that depends
+on many things ... but the main goal of requiring these bugzilla entries
+is to provide some documentation and measure of the amount of risk
+associated with non-API use.</p>
+<p><b>Message Bundles</b>. Projects must use <a
+	href="http://help.eclipse.org/galileo/topic/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/reference/misc/message_bundles.html">
+Eclipse message bundles</a> unless there are technical reasons not to.</p>
+<p><b>Version Numbering</b>. Projects must use 4-part <a
+	href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/Version_Numbering">version numbers</a>.</p>
+<p><b>OSGi bundle format</b>. All plug-ins (bundles) must use the
+true bundle form. That is, provide a manifest.mf file, and not rely on
+the plugin.xml file being 'translated' into a manifest.mf file at
+initial startup. With that, empty plugin.xml files in the presence of a
+manifest.mf file should not be included in a bundle. (For some old
+history, see <a
+	href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=130598">bug
+130598</a>.)</p>
+
+<p><b>Execution Environment</b>. All plug-ins must <a
+	href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/Execution_Environments">correctly
+list their Bundle Required Execution Environment (BREE)</a>.</p>
+
+<p><b>Signing</b>. Projects must use <a
+	href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/JAR_Signing">signed plugins using the
+Eclipse certificate</a>.</p>
+
+<p><b>Jarred Bundles</b>. Projects must use jarred plug-ins (with
+unpack=false) unless there are technical reasons not to do so. Also,
+nested jars should be avoided if possible since it creates problems for
+projects that has dependencies to such plug-ins. The OSGi runtime is
+fine with it but the PDE environment is not able to handle classpaths
+that contain nested jars. Exceptions to these principles should be
+documented by the project, so we can learn the reasons and extent of
+unjarred bundles.</p>
+<p><b>Re-use and share</b><b> </b>common third party jars. Any
+third-party plug-ins that are common between projects must be consumed
+via <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/orbit">Orbit</a>; a Simultaneous
+Release will not have duplicate third-party libraries (note that this
+only applies to identical versions of the libraries; thus if project A
+requires foo.jar 1.6 and project B uses foo.jar 1.7, that's ok, as long
+as it is required and has a documented reason).</p>
+
+<p><b>Optimization</b>. Projects must <a
+	href="http://help.eclipse.org/galileo/topic/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/guide/p2_repositorytasks.htm">
+optimize their p2 repositories</a> to reduce bandwidth utilization and
+provide a better install and update experience for users.</p>
+<p><b>Provide p2 repository</b>. Projects must provide their own
+project p2 repository for their own project and updates. In addition,
+they must provide their archives and metadata in a specified format and
+method to allow at least parts of their repository to be aggregated and
+mirrored to a common repository. The <a
+	href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/Indigo/Contributing_to_Indigo_Build">current
+process</a> may be modified throughout the year, if improvements can be
+made. Clarification on 03/31/2010: Note that a project's
+repositories must contain original (conditioned) jars, and pack.gz files (where
+original jar means the jar produced by the build, but which has been
+conditioned for pack200). Clarification on 11/08/2010: feature
+&quot;includes&quot; must be strict, that is &quot;include&quot; an
+exact version of that other feature. This is required so installs and
+builds can be repeatable independent of the exact day of the install or
+the exact repos enabled. This is the way things are, and have been for years, 
+and this statement is just making it explicit. 
+While there may, in the future, be new
+mechanisms that allow some &quot;line up collection&quot; to be
+specified, it will be something new, not the feature
+&quot;includes&quot; element.</p>
+<p><b>Support Translations</b>. All strings must be externalized,
+and Projects must participate in Babel, meaning it is registered and
+available for string translation, etc. Projects must freeze the UI
+sufficiently early to allow the Babel project time to translate strings
+so there can be simultaneous release of translated versions. The UI
+should be frozen by M6 (a "freeze" all major changes and additions are
+done by M6, and changes after that are done in a controlled, well
+documented fashion, so Babel translators can more easily &quot;keep
+up&quot; with late changes).</p>
+<p><b>Excel in NL support</b>. The Project must use <a
+	href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/ICU4J">ICU4J</a>, where appropriate, to
+excel in NL support. (The latest ICU4J bundles will be in Orbit).</p>
+<p><b>Branding</b>. Each major project (as determined by
+participating PMCs) must have an 'About' dialog icon with hover text
+that displays the provider name. Every plug-in and feature must specify
+a descriptive provider-name (for features), or Bundle-Vendor header (for
+plug-ins), as determined by the project's PMC (e.g. "Eclipse Modeling
+Project" rather than "Eclipse.org"). Also, Projects must contribute to
+the welcome page when appropriate.</p>
+
+
+
+
+
+<p><b>Do No Harm.</b> Projects must work together in any combination
+of any install. Put another way, this means that users can install any
+subset of the projects participating in Simultaneous Release, and each
+of the installed projects will work as well as if it had been loaded
+independently. If such a problem is identified, the affected projects
+must track down and fix the problem.</p>
+<p><b>License text consistency</b>. Use standard forms of license
+documents so it is displayed in the most usable, and concise way during
+install and update. It is a normal requirement to use a standard <a
+	href="http://www.eclipse.org/legal/epl/about.php">Eclipse
+Foundation &quot;about&quot; template</a>, but where those templates are
+edited by each project, care must be taken to be sure they are edited in
+similar ways. That is, substantial differences are fine, if required, but we need to avoid minor differences based on case, 
+arbitrary dates, and formatting.  Note that the Eclipse Foundation's license or user
+agreement files may change from year to year (such as, see <a
+	href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=316152">bug
+316152</a>) but ideally in Indigo and future releases, it will be easier to
+point to a &quot;symbolic&quot; representation of the license, so it
+will be accurate with less manual updates from each project (see <a
+	href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=306818">bug
+306818</a>).</p>
+
+<p><b>Support Primary Eclipse Platform to be in EPP Package.</b> For
+Indigo, that means EPP packages (and the features and bundles that go
+into them) must be built on and tested with Eclipse 3.7.</p>
+<h2>Be a good Eclipse Citizen ... and document it</h2>
+<p>Projects should exhibit good Eclipse Citizenship, to Release and
+participate in Common Discovery Site and EPP Packages. These are often
+&quot;best practices&quot; that some projects have found helpful at
+Eclipse. These criteria often speak to the quality of the Project, as an
+Eclipse Project, as opposed to their code or architecture. They are a
+bit more subjective than some of the other criteria, and the relevancy
+to any particular project may not be as universal, so there is no set
+number of items to satisfy. But, it is required that each project
+document their level of compliance to each item. Especially good Eclipse
+Citizens will get a gold star, and especially bad ones might get a
+frowny face.</p>
+<p><b>Engage Community</b>. The Project should actively engage their
+community to get feedback on milestone builds, and document how they do
+that. One way to do this is to have a <a
+	href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/Architecture_Council/New_and_Noteworthy">New
+&amp; Noteworthy</a> for each milestone. New and Noteworthy documents should
+be something readable and usable not just a static list of all the bugs.
+Corollary: individual new &amp; noteworthy should be linked in to the
+collective New &amp; Noteworthy.</p>
+<p><b>Usability</b>. Should follow the <a
+	href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/User_Interface_Guidelines">User
+Interface Guidelines</a>. The <a href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/UI_Checklist">UI
+Checklist</a> is a good place to start. Also, should participate in a <a
+	href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/User_Interface_Best_Practices_Working_Group">User
+Interface Best Practices Working Group</a> <a
+	href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/UIBPWG_UI_Walkthrough"> UI
+walkthrough</a>.</p>
+<p><b>Performance</b>. Project should have measurable performance
+criteria that are regularly tested against. Projects should devote at
+least one milestone to performance and scalability improvements.</p>
+<p><b>Test Localization</b>. The project should use the <a
+	href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=217339">Babel
+Pseudo Translation Test</a> to verify their translatability. [Need better
+reference link.]</p>
+<p><b>Capabilities</b>. Each project should provide basic
+capability/activity definitions to allow for their UI contributions to
+be hidden. These can be provided in a separate plugins and feature to
+facilitate inclusion and reuse by consumers, or ... as most projects do
+... simply document some examples, so adopters can create their own, or
+reuse via copy/paste. Ideally, projects should also provide triggers to
+facilitate progressive discovery of functionality (but, not many do,
+other than the Platform). As with other &quot;good citizen&quot; items,
+projects are free to document &quot;we don't do this&quot; ... but, then
+at least it is known and better communicated.</p>
+<p><b>Enable Use with All Languages</b>. Should design and test for
+enabling all languages including bidi, unicode characters, etc. This is
+different than "translating" the program. For example, while using an
+English version of Eclipse Web Tools, someone should be able to create a
+Chinese language web application. [Need "how to" reference link.]</p>
+<p><b>Builds</b>. Projects must have a mature, stable build process:
+documented, scripted, repeatable, and executable by others.</p>
+<p><b>Ramp Down Planned and Defined</b>. Projects must have a
+written ramp down policy by M6, at the latest, and provide link. The
+plan should describe when the project plans to be feature complete, have
+API frozen, and similar. See <a
+	href="http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/development/freeze_plan_3.5.php">Platform
+3.5 Endgame plan</a> as a guideline. See also <a
+	href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/indigoPlan/index.php?title=Indigo/Final_Daze&amp;action=edit">Indigo
+Final Daze</a>.)</p>
+<p><b>Accessibility</b>. Projects should design and test for
+accessibility compliance, following established guidelines and Eclipse
+fundamental techniques to achieve accessibility. Projects must document
+their accessibility work and compliance. Ideally this would be by using
+a publicly available checklists, such as</p>
+<ul>
+	<li><a
+		href="http://www.itic.org/resources/voluntary-product-accessibility-template-vpat/">http://www.itic.org/resources/voluntary-product-accessibility-template-vpat/
+	</a></li>
+	<li><a href="http://www.section508.gov/">http://www.section508.gov/</a></li>
+	<li><a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG/">http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG/</a></li>
+</ul>
+<p>but, given the <a
+	href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/Planning_Council/Cross_Project_Teams/Accessibility">advice
+of the Accessibility Cross Project Team</a>, for this year's
+Simultaneous Release, projects can document their work or compliance as
+a negative, such as "we did not do any accessibility work or testing and
+do not know the degree of our compliance". But its important to
+document, so adopters know. If possible, and appropriate, accessibility
+testing tools can be leveraged such as <a
+	href="http://www.nvda-project.org/">NVDA</a>. The main <a
+	href="http://www.eclipse.org/articles/article.php?file=Article-Accessibility351/index.html">accessibility
+article at Eclipse Corner</a> has been made current (thanks goes to Todd
+Creasey).</p>
+
+<p><b>Unit Tests</b>. Projects must have some unit tests that can
+verify at least basic functionality of a build or distribution. The
+steps to build and run the tests must be documented and executable by
+others.</p>
+<p><b>API Policy</b> Defined and Documented. Typically would include
+how 'APIs' are distinguished from non-API and 'provisional' API, if any.
+It is recommended that non-API be marked with x-internal in the bundles
+manifest. Also, should include what the commitment is to API, how long
+maintained after deprecated, etc. As one example, see <a
+	href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/WTP_API_Policy">WTP API Policy</a>.</p>
+
+<p><b>Retention Policy.</b> Projects should define and document
+their retention policy. This should include both zip distributions and
+repositories. For examples, see <a
+	href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/WTP/Retention_Policy">WTP Retention
+Policy</a> and <a
+	href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse_Project_Update_Sites">Eclipse
+Project Update Sites</a></p>
+<p><b>Project Metrics.</b> Projects should provide some summary
+metrics, such as number of bundles, number of committers, lines of code,
+number of bugs opened and fixed. This is so some statements can be made
+and tracked year-to-year about the size of the simultaneous release.</p>
+
+<p><b>Specify in Plans, support for auxiliary, or future Eclipse
+Platforms.</b> For Indigo, this means that each project needs to have a
+section (or theme) in their plans (and, that's the standard format
+plan), on how they intend to support Eclipse 4.1. The ideal statement
+would be to the effect that the project will run and has been tested on
+4.1. And, projects that exploit anything specific to 4.1 should explain
+that too. Naturally, since each project has their own plans and
+priorities, and one possibility is to plan "no support, no testing on
+4.1". The purpose of this requirement is to be clear on your plans and
+communicate those to the community.</p>
+
+<p></p>
+<h1>Additional Information</h1>
+<h2><a name="pcExceptionProcess">Planning Council Exception
+Process</a></h2>
+<p>Exceptions for any rule or schedule can be made if there are good
+enough reasons to. This same exception process will be followed for
+things like &quot;requests to respin&quot; a build after a deadline. The
+process to get any exception must be open and well documented and follow
+these steps:</p>
+<p>First, the Project's PMC must approve the request for an
+exception and it is the PMC (not the Project) that makes the request to
+the Planning Council. The Planning Council member that represents the
+PMC would bring the issue forward to the Planning Council.</p>
+<p>Second, the exception requires at least 3 positive votes from
+active Planning Council members and no negative votes. When time is a
+factor (e.g. requests for rebuilds) the deadline for voicing a negative
+vote is basically by the time 3 votes are documented. But when time is
+not a factor, such as when requesting an exception to one of the
+criteria, then a period of one week will pass before being final, to
+allow times for concerns or negative votes to be voiced even after 3
+positive votes. If there are not enough positive votes within one week,
+then the request for exception will be considered 'failed'. Note that
+&quot;3&quot; was chosen under the assumption that the Planning Council
+member representing the PMC would vote for it (since that PMC must
+approve it initially) so that means 2 others must also vote for it, for
+3 total.</p>
+<p>Depending on the timing, the issue and votes will be documented
+in either the Planning Council Meeting minutes, or on the Planning
+Council mailing list. If possible, some automatation may be added to the
+release reporting tool to aid this documentation.</p>
