| |
| <p>Plans do not materialize out of nowhere, nor are they entirely static. To |
| ensure the planning process is transparent and open to the entire Eclipse |
| community, plans are posted in an embryonic form and then revised from time to |
| time throughout the release cycle. </p> |
| |
| <p>The first part of the plan deals with the important matters of release |
| deliverables, release milestones, target operating environments, and |
| release-to-release compatibility. These are all things that need to be clear |
| for any release, even if no features were to change. </p> |
| |
| <p>The remainder of the plan consists of plan items for the components under |
| the Eclipse MDT project. Each plan item covers a feature or API that is to be |
| added, or some aspect that is to be improved. Each plan item has its own entry |
| in the Eclipse <span class=SpellE>bugzilla</span> database, with a title and a |

| <p>Fixing bugs, improving test coverage, documentation, examples, performance |

| <p>The 1.0 release is targeted for late June 2007. All release deliverables |
| will be available for download as soon as the release has been tested and |
| validated in the target operating configurations listed below.</p> |
| |
| <h2><a name=TargetOperatingEnvironments></a>Target Operating Environments</h2> |
| |
| <p>In order to remain current, each release of an Eclipse project targets |
| reasonably current versions of underlying operating environments and other |
| Eclipse projects on which it depends. </p> |
| |
| <p>Most of Eclipse is "pure" <span class=SpellE>Java<sup><span |
| style='font-size:9.5pt'>TM</span></sup></span> code and has no direct |
| dependence on the underlying operating system. The chief dependence is on the |
| Eclipse Platform, and on the Java 2 Platform that runs it.</p> |
| |
| <p>The MDT 1.0 release depends on the following:</p> |
| |
| <ul type=disc> |
| <li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; |

| font-family:Arial'>EMF 2.3</span><img border=0 width=12 height=12 |

| font-family:Arial'>GMF 2.0<o:p></o:p></span></li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <p>The 1.0 release of MDT is designed to run on any configuration supporting |
| the above components.</p> |
| |
| <p>The Eclipse Platform runs in a variety of operating environments. Testing is |
| focused on a handful of popular <span class=header>combinations of operating |
| system and Java 2 Platform; these are our </span><em><span style='font-family: |
| Arial'>reference platforms</span></em><span class=header>. Eclipse undoubtedly |
| runs fine in many operating environments beyond the reference platforms we |
| test. However, since we do not systematically test them we cannot vouch for |
| them. Problems encountered when running Eclipse on non-reference platform that |
| cannot be recreated on any reference platform will be given lower priority than |
| problems with running Eclipse on a reference platform.</span></p> |
| |
| <p><span style='mso-bidi-font-weight:bold'>See the <a |
| href="http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/development/eclipse_project_plan_3_3.html">Eclipse |
| Project 3.3 plan</a> for a list of reference platforms.</span></p> |
| |
| <h4><span style='font-family:Arial'>Internationalization<o:p></o:p></span></h4> |
| |
| <p>Eclipse is designed as the basis for internationalized products. The user |
| interface elements provided by the various Eclipse projects, including dialogs |
| and error messages, are externalized. The English strings for MDT are provided |
| as the default resource bundles. Translations are not provided with this |
| release. However, the plug-in fragment mechanism provides the means by which |
| translations into any number of other languages can be incorporated.</p> |

| |
| <h3>Compatibility of EODM 2.0 with 1.0</h3> |
| |
| <p>The EODM 2.0 component of Eclipse MDT will <b style='mso-bidi-font-weight: |
| normal'>not</b> be compatible with EODM 1.0.</p> |
| |
| <p><b>API Contract Compatibility:</b> EODM 2.0 will <b style='mso-bidi-font-weight: |
| normal'>not</b> be upwards contract-compatible with EODM 1.0 as noted in the <i>EODM |
| 2.0 Migration</i> Guide. Programs that use affected APIs and extension points |
| will need to be ported to EODM 2.0 APIs. Downward contract compatibility is not |
| supported. Compliance with EODM 2.0 APIs would <b style='mso-bidi-font-weight: |
| normal'>not</b> ensure compliance with EODM 1.0 APIs. Refer to <i><a |
| href="http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/development/java-api-evolution.html">Evolving |
| Java-based APIs</a></i> for a discussion of the kinds of API changes that |
| maintain contract compatibility.</p> |
| |
| <p><b>Binary (plug-in) Compatibility:</b> EODM 2.0 will <b style='mso-bidi-font-weight: |
| normal'>not</b> be upwards binary-compatible with EODM 1.0 as noted in the <i>EODM |
| 2.0 Migration</i> Guide. Downward plug-in compatibility is not supported: |
| plug-ins compiled against EODM 2.0 will be unusable with EODM 1.0. Refer to <i><a |
| href="http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/development/java-api-evolution.html">Evolving |
| Java-based APIs</a></i> for a discussion of the kinds of API changes that |
| maintain binary compatibility.</p> |
| |
| <p><b>Source Compatibility:</b> Source files written to use EODM 1.0 APIs will <b |
| style='mso-bidi-font-weight:normal'>not</b> compile and run successfully |
| against EODM 2.0 APIs. In some cases, it may be necessary to make minor changes |
| to the source code to disambiguate things like imports or overloaded method |
| invocations. Downward source compatibility is not supported. If source files |
| use new APIs, they will not be usable with earlier versions. </p> |
| |
| <p><b>Workspace Compatibility:</b> EODM 2.0 will <b style='mso-bidi-font-weight: |
| normal'>not</b> be upwards workspace-compatible with EODM 1.0 as noted. This |
| means that workspaces and projects created by an Eclipse with EODM 1.0 |
| installed <b style='mso-bidi-font-weight:normal'>cannot</b> be successfully opened |
| by an Eclipse with EODM 2.0 installed. This includes both hidden metadata, |
| which is localized to a particular workspace, as well as metadata files found |
| within a workspace project, which may propagate between workspaces via file |
| copying or team repositories. User interface session state may be discarded |
| when a workspace is upgraded. Downward workspace compatibility is not |
| supported. Metadata files created (or overwritten) by the newer version will |
| generally be unusable with older versions.</p> |
| |
| <p><b>Non-compliant usage of API's</b>: All non-API methods and classes, and |
| certainly everything in a package with "internal" in its name, are |
| considered implementation details which may vary between operating environment |
| and are subject to change without notice. Client plug-ins that directly <span |
| class=GramE>depend</span> on anything other than what is specified in the API |
| are inherently unsupportable and receive no guarantees about compatibility |
| within a single release much less with an earlier releases. Refer to <i><a |

| <h3>Compatibility of UML2 OCL 1.1 with 1.0</h3> |
| |
| <p>The UML2 OCL 1.1 subcomponent of Eclipse MDT will be compatible with UML2 OCL |
| 1.0, except in those areas noted in the UML2 OCL 1.1 Migration Guide.</p> |
| |
| <p><b>API Contract Compatibility:</b> UML2 OCL 1.1 will be upwards |

| that use affected APIs and extension points will need to be ported to UML2 OCL |
| 1.1 APIs. Downward contract compatibility is not supported. There is no |
| guarantee that compliance with UML2 OCL 1.1 APIs would ensure compliance with |
| UML2 OCL 1.0 APIs. Refer to <i><a |

| |
| <p><b>Source Compatibility:</b> Source files written to use UML2 OCL 1.0 APIs |
| will usually compile and run successfully against UML2 OCL 1.1 APIs, although |
| this cannot be guaranteed. Because UML2 OCL 1.1 may exploit new Java language |
| constructs and/or aspects of the OCL specification, there is an increased |
| chance of source incompatibilities compared to previous UML2 OCL releases. In |
| some cases, it may be necessary to make minor changes to the source code to |
| disambiguate things like imports or overloaded method invocations. Downward |
| source compatibility is not supported. If source files use new APIs, they will |
| not be usable with earlier versions.</p> |
| |
| <p><b>Workspace Compatibility:</b> UML2 OCL 1.1 will be upwards |
| workspace-compatible with UML2 OCL 1.0 unless noted. This means that workspaces |
| and projects created by an Eclipse with UML2 OCL 1.0 installed can be |
| successfully opened by an Eclipse with UML2 OCL 1.1 installed. This includes |

| <h3>Compatibility of UML2 UML 2.1 with 2.0</h3> |
| |
| <p>The UML2 UML 2.1 subcomponent of Eclipse MDT will be compatible with UML2 |
| UML 2.0, except in those areas noted in the UML2 UML 2.1 Migration Guide.</p> |

| <p><b>Source Compatibility:</b> Source files written to use XSD 2.2 APIs will |
| usually compile and run successfully against XSD 2.3<img border=0 width=12 |
| height=12 id="_x0000_i1042" src="../../images/new.gif"> APIs, although this |
| cannot be guaranteed. Because XSD 2.3<img border=0 width=12 height=12 |
| id="_x0000_i1043" src="../../images/new.gif"> may exploit new Java language |
| constructs, there is an increased chance of source incompatibilities compared |
| to previous XSD releases. In some cases, it may be necessary to make minor |
| changes to the source code to disambiguate things like imports or overloaded |
| method invocations. Downward source compatibility is not supported. If source |
| files use new APIs, they will not be usable with earlier versions.</p> |
| |
| <p><b>Workspace Compatibility:</b> XSD 2.3<img border=0 width=12 height=12 |
| id="_x0000_i1044" src="../../images/new.gif"> will be upwards |
| workspace-compatible with XSD 2.2 unless noted. This means that workspaces and |
| projects created by an Eclipse with XSD 2.2 installed can be successfully |
| opened by an Eclipse with XSD 2.3<img border=0 width=12 height=12 |
| id="_x0000_i1045" src="../../images/new.gif"> installed. This includes both |
| hidden metadata, which is localized to a particular workspace, as well as |
| metadata files found within a workspace project, which may propagate between |
| workspaces via file copying or team repositories. User interface session state |
| may be discarded when a workspace is upgraded. Downward workspace compatibility |
| is not supported. Metadata files created (or overwritten) by the newer version |
| will generally be unusable with older versions.</p> |
| |
| <p><b>Non-compliant usage of API's</b>: All non-API methods and classes, and |
| certainly everything in a package with "internal" in its name, are |
| considered implementation details which may vary between operating environment |
| and are subject to change without notice. Client plug-ins that directly <span |
| class=GramE>depend</span> on anything other than what is specified in the API |
| are inherently unsupportable and receive no guarantees about compatibility |
| within a single release much less with an earlier releases. Refer to <i><a |
| href="http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-API%20use/eclipse-api-usage-rules.html">How |
| to Use the Eclipse API</a></i> for information about how to write compliant |
