| and exemplary tools to build Web and Java EE applications. This plan |
| documents a mid-train release of Dali, but maintains consistency with |
| WTP-Galileo milestones. Dali will also carry forward with the Galileo |
| milestones and release Dali 2.2 with WTP 3.1. This plan will be updated |
| after the release of 2.1 to appropriately describe the Galileo based release (2.2).</p><h2><a name="release_deliverables">Release Deliverables</a></h2><p> |

| WTP will support the platforms certified by the Eclipse Platform |
| project. For a list of platforms supported in Dali 2.1, see |
| <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/development/eclipse_project_plan_3_4.html#TargetOperatingEnvironments%20Eclipse%20Target%20Operating%20Environments">Eclipse Target Operating Environments</a> |
| </p><p>.</p><h3>Internationalization</h3> |
| <p> |
| Internationalization and Localization will be supported. |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| Internationalization (I18N) |
| <p> Each project should be able to work in an international |
| environment, including support for operating in different locales |
| and processing/displaying international data (dates, strings, |
| etc.).</p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Localization |
| <p> Each project should provide an environment that supports the |
| localization of the technology (i.e. translation). This includes, |
| but is not limited to, ensuring that strings are externalized for |
| easy translation.</p> |
| </li> |
| <p>Where possible, projects should use an open and transparent |
| process to create, maintain and deliver language packs translated |
| into multiple languages in a timely manner. The primary languages |
| to consider are: English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, |
| Japanese, French, German, Spanish.</p> |
| </ul> |

| <p><a href="#toc">Table of Contents</a></p><h2><a name="compatibility">Compatibility with Previous Releases</a></h2><p><a href="#toc">Table of Contents</a></p><h2><a name="themes_and_priorities">Themes and Priorities</a></h2><p> Themes and their priorities communicate the main objectives of |
| the project and their importance. The following themes are derived |
| from those defined by the Eclipse Requirement council for the |
| Eclipse Galileo release and from the WTP 3.0 release themes. These |
| will be prioritized based on the community feedback. New themes |
| could be synthesized from the requirements submitted by the |
| community.</p><p>The sections to follow defines the plan items in the Dali Java |
| Persistence Tools project. The plan items are grouped under the |
| respective themes where applicable. Each plan item corresponds to a |
| new feature, API or some apsects of the project that needs to be |
| improved. A plan item has an entry in the Eclipse Bugzilla system |
| that has a detailed description of the plan item. Not all plan items |
| represent the same amount of work; some may be quite large, others, |
| quite small. Although some plan items are for work that is more |
| pressing than others, the plan items appear in no particular order. |
| See the corresponding bugzilla items for up-to-date status |
| information on ongoing work and planned delivery milestones.</p><h3>Ease of Use</h3><p> |
| Features provided by WTP should be simple to use for users with |
| widely-varying backgrounds and skill sets. |
| <ul> |
| <li>WTP User Interface should be consistent and should follow |
| the Eclipse User Experience Guidelines.</li> |
| <li>Usability and Accessibility reviews should be done |
| for the most common task flows. Cheat Sheets should be provided |
| to assist users in performing tasks</li> |
| <li>WTP should provide enhanced user documentation, tutorials, |
| white papers, demonstrations.</li> |
