<introduction>
<html:div>
<html:p>
This document lays out the feature and API set for the next version of the Xpand (version 1.0.0).
This project plan inherits from the Modeling Project Plan, which should be referenced when consulting this individual project plan.

<release_deliverables>
<html:div>
The release deliverables have the same form as is found in most Eclipse projects, namely:
<html:p>
<html:ul>
<html:li>M2T Xpand SDK (includes runtime and tooling components, with sources, examples, and documentation) (downloadable and update site).</html:li>
<html:li>M2T Xpand runtime binary distribution (downloadable and update site).</html:li>
<html:li>M2T Xpand tests (downloadable and update site)</html:li>
</html:ul>
</html:p>
</html:div>
</release_deliverables>
<release_milestones>
<preamble>
<html:div>
Release milestone occurring at roughly 6 week intervals and follow the Platform milestone releases by approximately 2 weeks;
that is, until the final 3.6 release of the Platform, upon which Xpand and other projects will release simultaneously.
As Xpand is dependent upon the EMF, and other projects, which are scheduled to release milestones within 1 week of Platform milestones,
Xpand will deliver its milestones within the following week.
It is anticipated that Xpand will synchronize its release milestones with the Helios release schedule.

<target_environments>
<html:div>
In order to remain current, each Eclipse release targets reasonably current versions of the underlying operating environments.
The Xpand project depends upon on the Platform and other projects, which are mostly "pure" Java.
The 3.6 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.
Xpand will target the same Java version as EMF, which currently requires Java 5.
Eclipse Platform SDK 3.6 will be tested and validated on a number of reference platforms.
Xpand will be tested and validated against a subset of those listed for the platform.
Those available will be presented on the project download site.
</html:div>
<!-- <internationalization>
<html:div>
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.
As a result, the Xpand project will provide English strings in its default bundles and be localized to a subset of those locales offered by the Platform.
This plan will be updated to indicate which locales will be provided and the time frame for availability.

A list of project requirements and agreed upon implementation time frames is
found in this document. For the milestones listed in this document, a set of
overall themes is used to indicate what major set of functionalities is to be
concentrated on for each. These themes are presented below, while the
requirements document and associated Bugzilla entries are left to those wanting
