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>

Dali 2.1 Milestones are based on the early Galileo milestone +2 dates.
The M4 Galileo date will roughly line up with our 2.1 GA.

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>
<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>
