+   <introduction>
+     This document lays out the feature and API set for the first release of the Xpand project,version 0.7.0, of the Eclipse M2T Project.  
+     This project plan inherits from the Modeling Project Plan, which should be referenced when consulting this individual project plan.
+   </introduction>
+   <release_deliverables>
+     <html:p>
+    The release deliverables have the same form as is found in most Eclipse projects, namely:
+<html:ul>
+<html:li>Xpand source code release, available as versions tagged "R0_7" in the project's CVS repository.</html:li>
+<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>
+    </release_deliverables>
+   <release_milestones>
+      <preamble>
+      <html:p>Release milestone occurring at roughly 6 week intervals and follow the Platform milestone releases by approximately 2 weeks; 
+      that is, until the final 3.5 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 Galileo release schedule.

+   <target_environments>
+     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 3.5 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. 
+Xpand will target the same Java version as EMF, which currently requires Java 5.
+Eclipse Platform SDK 3.5 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.
+     <internationalization>
+       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.
+     </internationalization>
+   </target_environments>
+   <compatibility_with_previous_releases>
+     This is the first eclipse release of Xpand. 
+     This release will be compatible to the previous Xpand released at openarchitectureware.org.
+   </compatibility_with_previous_releases>
