       	</p><p><a href="#toc">Table of Contents</a></p><h2><a name="target_environments">Target Environments</a></h2><p>In order to remain current, each Eclipse release targets reasonably current versions of the underlying operating environments.</p><p>The GMF Notation project depends upon on the Platform and other projects, which are mostly "pure" Java. The 3.7 release of the Eclipse Platform Project is written and compiled against version 1.5 of the Java Platform APIs, and targeted to run on version 1.5 of the Java Runtime Environment, Standard Edition. GMF Notation will target the same Java version as EMF, which currently requires Java 1.5.</p><p>Eclipse Platform SDK 3.7 will be tested and validated on a number of reference platforms. GMF Notation will be tested and validated against a subset of those listed for the platform. Those available will be presented on the project download site.</p><h3>Internationalization</h3>
      	<p>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 GMF Notation 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.</p>
      <p><a href="#toc">Table of Contents</a></p><h2><a name="compatibility">Compatibility with Previous Releases</a></h2><p>Compatibility of Release 1.5</p><p>The GMF Notation Project will be developed in parallel, and released simultaneously, with the following projects. As stated above, each milestone release of the GMF Notation Project will be compatible with the corresponding milestones for each of these projects, and delivered the appropriate offset.</p><ul><li>Eclipse Platform SDK version 3.7</li>
 		<li>Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF) version 2.7</li>
 	</ul><p>Therefore, the GMF Notation initial release will be compatible with these versions and will publish binary and source compatibilities with migration guides on subsequent releases.</p><p><a href="#toc">Table of Contents</a></p><h2><a name="themes_and_priorities">Themes and Priorities</a></h2><p>
 				The project has identified major areas of work, that will be the priorities for this development cycle. These areas will	address	the	major themes identified by the Eclipse Requirements Council (
 				<a href="http://www.eclipse.org/org/councils/roadmap_v4_0/themesandpriorities.html">Eclipse Themes and Priorities</a>).

	</p><p><a href="#toc">Table of Contents</a></p><h2><a name="target_environments">Target Environments</a></h2><p>In order to remain current, each Eclipse release targets reasonably current versions of the underlying operating environments.</p><p>The GMF Notation project depends upon on the Platform and other projects, which are mostly "pure" Java. The 3.7 release of the Eclipse Platform Project is written and compiled against version 1.5 of the Java Platform APIs, and targeted to run on version 1.5 of the Java Runtime Environment, Standard Edition. GMF Notation will target the same Java version as EMF, which currently requires Java 1.5.</p><p>Eclipse Platform SDK 3.7 will be tested and validated on a number of reference platforms. GMF Notation will be tested and validated against a subset of those listed for the platform. Those available will be presented on the project download site.</p><h3>Internationalization</h3>
	<p>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 GMF Notation 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.</p>
	<p><a href="#toc">Table of Contents</a></p><h2><a name="compatibility">Compatibility with Previous Releases</a></h2><p>Compatibility of Release 1.5</p><p>The GMF Notation Project will be developed in parallel, and released simultaneously, with the following projects. As stated above, each milestone release of the GMF Notation Project will be compatible with the corresponding milestones for each of these projects, and delivered the appropriate offset.</p><ul><li>Eclipse Platform SDK version 3.7</li>
	<li>Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF) version 2.7</li>
	</ul><p>Therefore, the GMF Notation initial release will be compatible with these versions and will publish binary and source compatibilities with migration guides on subsequent releases.</p><p><a href="#toc">Table of Contents</a></p><h2><a name="themes_and_priorities">Themes and Priorities</a></h2><p>
	The project has identified major areas of work, that will be the priorities for this development cycle. These areas will address the major themes identified by the Eclipse Requirements Council (
