| <h1>Eclipse "New and Noteworthy" Template</h1> |
| <p>Last revised October 29, 2007</p> |
| |
| <p>This is the template for the "New and Noteworthy" document that |
| accompanies each Eclipse project milestone build.</p> |
| <p>Note: This template document is XHTML 1.0 Transitional. Please use the W3C <a href="http://validator.w3.org/#validate_by_input">XHTML |
| Markup Validation Service</a> to check your document's markup before submitting. |
| This will detect screwed up HTML tags, images without an "alt" |
| attrribute, and other tedious little details. </p> |
| <table border="0" width="80%" cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0"> |
| <tr> |

| <td colspan="2"><hr /> |
| <h2>OSGi Bundle Facet</h2> |
| <hr /></td> |
| </tr> |
| <tr id="itemname"> |
| <td width="30%" valign="top" align="left"><b>Item title, in bold, no trailing |
| punctuation, with unique id attribute on <tr> </b></td> |
| <td width="70%" valign="top">A blurb pitched to the Eclipse community |
| (not just to members of the Eclipse Platform development team). Tell |
| end users about changes they'll see at the UI. Tell component writers |
| about changes they'll see at the client- and server-side APIs. Try to |
| generate some excitement; save the boring details for the manual. The |
| description should be complete sentences, with trailing punctuation. |
| Stick to the default font and size. |
| <p>If a small image sheds light, place it below the description, in a separate |
| paragraph. Regular screen snapshots should be done on Windows XP. Crop |
| out any extraneous stuff to focus the reader's attention on your new |
| feature. <span style="background-color: #FFFF00">The image should be |
| no more than 466 pixels wide and in PNG-24 format</span> (as opposed |
| to GIF, TIF, BMP, or JPG).</p> |
| |
| <p>Microsoft Paint actually saves to PNG on Windows XP and can easily be |
| used to crop and save screenshots:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Arrange the windows for the shot</li> |
| <li>Use the Print Screen key (or Alt+Print Screen) to capture the screen</li> |
| <li>Open Paint (under All Programs > Accessories)</li> |
| <li>Ctrl+V to paste</li> |
| |
| <li>Select the area you want to keep</li> |
| <li>Ctrl+C to copy it</li> |
| <li>Ctrl+N to create a new canvas (ok to discard old one)</li> |
| <li>Ctrl+V to paste selected portion</li> |
| <li>Save As PNG</li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <p>Name the file is a way that is appropriate and specific to the item |
| (e.g., key-bindings.png, rather than something generic like image.png). |
| Use all lowercase letters in the image file name, including the ".png" |
| file extension. As a separator, use hyphen "-" rather than |
| underscore |
| "_". </p> |
| <p>Put all the images in a sibling directory named "images". |
| This gives HTML like <img src="images/foo.png" alt="The |
| Foo View" />. Include a suitable alt property (which is mandatory |
| in XHTML 1.0). Do not embed the width and height of the image.</p> |
| |
| <p>The images should be left justified (as opposed to centered). </p> |
