| This document lays out the feature and API set for the |
| 2.5.0 release of the Eclipse Modeling Framework Core (EMF Core) project. |
| This project plan inherits from the <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/projects/project-plan.php?projectid=modeling.emf">Eclipse Modeling Framework Project Plan</a>, |

| <release_deliverables> |
| <div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> |
| The release deliverables have the same form as is found in most Eclipse projects, namely: |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| EMF Core source code release, |
| available as versions tagged with "R2_5" in the project's CVS repository. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| EMF Core SDK, |
| which includes runtime, sources, examples, and documentation, |
| and is available as a download or on the update site. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| EMF Core runtime binary distribution, |
| available as a download or on the update site. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| EMF Core tests |
| available as a download. |

| <div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> |
| Release milestones occur at roughly 6 week intervals |
| and follow the Platform release milestone by the Galileo-established +1 delta interval, |
| though all effort will be made to reduce this to +1 business day |
| regardless of the size of the established +1 delta interval.. |
| The final EMF Core 2.5 release will available simultaneously |
| with the 3.5 release of the Platform and all the other Galileo projects. |
| It is anticipated that EMF Core will synchronize its milestones |
| with any changes to the Galileo milestone schedule. |

| EMF Core will produce maintenance releases to align with the Ganymede Service Releases |
| which includes the Eclipse Platform's 3.4.1 and 3.4.2 releases. |
| EMF Core may produce additional interim maintenance releases. |
| Maintenance releases will only be published if they contain new fixes. |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| Monday, August 25, 2008 - EMF Core 2.4.1 maintenance release |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Friday, September 26, 2008 - EMF Core 2.4.1 maintenance release for Ganymede Service Release 1. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Friday, February 27, 2009 - EMF Core 2.4.2 maintenance release for Ganymede Service Release 2. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Version numbers are subject to change should there be be any additional maintenance releases. |
| A list of the issues addressed for the 2.4.x maintenance stream |

| <div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> |
| In order to remain current, |
| each Eclipse release targets reasonably current versions of the underlying operating environments. |
| The EMF Core project depends upon on the Platform, |
| which is mostly "pure" Java™. |
| The 3.5 release of the Eclipse Platform Project |
| is written and compiled against version 1.4 of the Java Platform APIs, |
| and targeted to run on version 1.4 of the Java Runtime Environment, Standard Edition. |
| EMF Core, |
| with its runtime support for generics, |
| relies on Java 5. |
| Eclipse Platform SDK 3.5 will be tested and validated on a number of reference platforms. |
| EMF Core will be tested and validated against a subset of those listed for the platform. |
| Given that there is no operating system dependent code in EMF Core, |
| it's expected that EMF Core will work anywhere the Eclipse Platform does. |
| </div> |
| <internationalization> |
| <div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> |
| The Eclipse Platform is designed as the basis for internationalized products. |
| The user interface elements provided by the Eclipse SDK components, |
| including dialogs and error messages, |
| are externalized. |
| The English strings are provided as the default resource bundles. |
| Similarly, the EMF Core project will externalize all its user interface elements, |
| provide English strings for them in its default bundles, |
| and localize a subset of the locales offered by the Platform. |
| The download page will provide the details as the become available. |

| <compatibility_with_previous_releases> |

| Compatibility of Release 2.4: |
| The EMF Core project will be developed in parallel, |
| and released simultaneously, |
| with the following project: |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| Eclipse Platform SDK version 3.5 |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| Each milestone version of the EMF Core project |
| will be compatible with the corresponding milestone for this project |
| and will be delivered within the appropriate time offset. |
| The ultimate EMF Core release will be compatible with the released version of its dependencies |
| and will publish binary and source compatibilities with migration guides on subsequent releases. |

| For the milestones listed in this document, |
| a set of overall themes is used to indicate what major set of functionalities is expected to be the focus of each. |

| <description> |
| <div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> |
| The EMF Core project has a proven track record of quality, reliability, and extensibility |
| but all these aspects can be continuously improved. |
| Existing and new clients often desire more functionality from the framework |
| while long established clients generally desire mostly improvements in performance. |
| Often these two are at odds since additional extensibility often has a performance cost |
| and any changes, even performance boosting ones, potentially impact reliability. |
| Every effort will be made to introduce new capabilities |
| so that they have negligible impact on established clients |
| based on the guiding principle: |
| if you don't use it, |
| you don't pay for it. |
| Because service and support has and always will take priority over new development work, |
| development commitments and schedules are subject to arbitrary change, slippage, or even deferral. |
| Be sure to establish direct communication to ensure that any hard commitments |
| are seen as that by the development team itself! |
