MPC provides a workflow for finding and installing solutions, layering on top of the Eclipse P2 and providing a streamlined and simplified workflow that does not require users to enter and manage update sites. </div><h2><a name="release_deliverables">Release Deliverables</a></h2><div>Release 1.1 will will update the functionality of the existing MPC to improve the usability and make it easier for more people to use MPC.</div><p><a href="#toc">Table of Contents</a></p><h2><a name="release_milestones">Release Milestones</a></h2><div/><table border="1" align="center"><tr><td><b>M6</b></td><td>3/18/2011</td><td><div>Feature completion, will be available as part of Indigo M6</div></td></tr><tr><td><b>M7</b></td><td>5/6/2011</td><td><div>Response to community feedback</div></td></tr><tr><td><b>RC1</b></td><td>5/20/2011</td><td><div>Updates to documentation</div></td></tr><tr><td><b>RC2</b></td><td>5/27/2011</td><td><div>Release Candidate</div></td></tr><tr><td><b>RC3</b></td><td>6/3/2011</td><td><div>Release Candidate</div></td></tr><tr><td><b>RC4</b></td><td>6/10/2011</td><td><div>Release Candidate</div></td></tr><tr><td><b>Final</b></td><td>6/22/2011</td><td><div>First Release (1.1)</div></td></tr></table><div> |

| <p>After RC1 is released, builds will be produced weekly until the final 1.1 release. In the RC |
| phase only bugs marked P1 or higher or severity major or higher will be fixed. APIs will not |
| change except to address critical fixes requiring approval of at least two committers.</p> |

We want to implement features that |
| make MPC accessible from other sources. Specific items: |
| <ol><li>End user should be able to drag and drop a URL to a running Eclipse installation to start an MPC install for a particular product. <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=336156">[336156]</a><a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=336154">[336154]</a></li> |
| <li>End user should be able to share via e-mail or twitter an Eclipse MPC solution.<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=336160">[336160]</a></li> |
| </ol></div><h3>Usability</h3><div>Make it easier for users to discover relevant solutions within MPC. Specific items: |
| <ol><li>MPC should show tags that have been specified for a product listing.<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=336149">[336149]</a></li> |
| <li>Different third party catalogs should be listed as icons at the bottom of the wizard and switching should be done via selecting the icon.<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=336157">[336157]</a></li> |
| <li>Third party catalogs should be allowed to provide more branding, so the end user can see when they are in a different catalog. <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=336159">[336159]</a></li> |
| </ol></div><h3>Eclipse 4</h3><div>MPC will be tested and supported on Eclipse 4.1 release. |
| </div><h3>Other</h3><div> |
| Specific items: |
| <ol><li>Third party catalogs should be discovered from the Eclipse Marketplace server. <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=328605">[328605]</a></li> |
| <li>MPC should be able to use alternative p2 repositories to resolve dependencies. <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=332073">[332973]</a></li> |
| <li>Splitting code and configuration of the MPC <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=313581">[313581]</a></li> |
