<a name="introduction">Introduction</a>
</h2>
<div>The Source Editing project is a sub-project in the
Eclipse WTP top level Project. Its main goal is to provide source
editing support for typical "web" languages and the mixing of them,
with a focus on making the editors extensible and easily reusable.
This document describes the features and the API set in the Source
Editing subproject for the Galileo release.</div>

<div>WTP will support the platforms certified by the Eclipse Platform project. For a list of platforms supported in WTP 3.1, 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>.</div>
<h3>Internationalization</h3>

<h2>
<a name="themes_and_priorities">Themes and Priorities</a>
</h2>
<div>
<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 Source
Editing 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>
</div>
<h3>Ease of Use</h3>
<div><p>
Features provided by WTP should be simple to use for users with
widely-varying backgrounds and skill sets.
</p>
<ul>
<li>WTP User Interface should be consistent and should follow the
Eclipse User Experience Guidelines. Experienced Eclipse users should
find few, if any, unpleasant surprises or omissions in the UI.</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>
</ul>
<p>
<i>Ease of Use</i> plan items are designated with "EaseOfUse" in the Status Whiteboard and the "plan" keyword.
</p>
</div>

<ul>
<li>TODO markers in JSP Scriptlets are not shown [<a href="http://bugs.eclipse.org/71558">71558</a>] <strike>(target milestone: 3.1 M1)</strike></li>

</ul>
<h3>Scaling Up</h3>
<div>
<p>
Source Editing must be able to deal with development and deployment on an
increasingly larger and more complex scale. WTP should spend focused
effort on performance testing and improvement when dealing with
extremely large projects and workspaces, particularly where
extensibility is offered.
</p>
<p>
<i>Scaling Up</i> plan items are designated with the "plan" and "performance" keywords.
</p>

<li>
<b>Committed</b>
<ul>

<h3>Design for Extensibility</h3>
<div>
<p>
The 'P' in WTP stands for Platform, meaning Source Editing can be used by adopters to
extend its functionality. This theme is about continuing to ensure the
success of its adopters by promoting new API's and Extension points.
These should be backed with robust Junit tests and good documentation.
</p>
<p>
<i>Design for Extensibility</i> plan items are designated with the "plan" and "api" keywords.
