         <h2>Goal</h2>
         <p>The goal of the Callisto Simultaneous Release was to release ten major Eclipse
         projects at the same time. Callisto was a definite success.</p>
         <p>We did this simultaneous release to support the needs of the ecosystem
         members who integrate Eclipse frameworks into their own software and products.
         While those product producers naturally accept the ultimate responsibility for their
         customers' experiences, Callisto's goal was to eliminate uncertainity about
         project version numbers, and thus to allow ecosystem members to start their
         own integration, cross-project, and cross-product testing efforts earlier.
         Callisto was about improving the productivity of
         the developers working on top of Eclipse frameworks by providing a more
         transparent and predictable development cycle; Callisto was about developers
         helping developers serve the whole Eclipse community.</p>

         <p><em>While Callisto was about the simultaneous release of ten projects, it was
         not a unification of the projects - each project remained a
         separate open source project operating with its own project leadership,
         its own committers, and its own project plan.</em></p>

         <p>The complete installation instructions are at the <a href="http://download.eclipse.org/callisto/releases/">Callisto Update Discovery page</a>.</p>


        <h2>Callisto CVS Projects</h2>
        <p>A number of utilities were written to automate the assembly of Callisto builds.
        These are available in their own CVS respository. You can find more information about
        how this was organized and individual project responsibilities for the build on this
        Eclipsepedia page: <a href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Callisto_build">Callisto build</a>.</p>

         <h2>Great Bugs Contest</h2>
         <p>We had a contest for great Callisto bug reports and we gave away
         T-shirts, iPods, and an Eclipse-brand mountain bike. Read about what consistitutes
         a <a href="/projects/callisto-files/callisto-bug-contest.php">great Callisto bug report</a> and
         <a href="/projects/callisto-files/callisto-bug-contest.php">the simple contest guidelines/rules</a>.
         The goal, of course, was to encourage the larger community to find Callisto bugs - bugs
         that are at the intersection and integration of projects - and we more or less succeeded.</p>

         <h2><a name="Requirements">Requirements</a></h2>
         <p>Projects that were part of Callisto agreed to abide by the following requirements:
         <ol>
 <li>The projects in the Callisto Simultaneous Release <b>must</b> work together. </li>
 <li>All Callisto projects <em>should</em> have jar'ed plug-ins because this is good Eclipse citizenship.</li>
 <li>All Callisto projects <em>should</em> use Eclipse message bundles, not Java bundles because this is a good Eclipse citizenship.</li>
 <li>All Callisto projects <b>must</b> use ICU4J by RC0.</li>
 <li>All Callisto projects <b>must</b> use capabilities.</li>
 <li>All Callisto projects <b>must</b> have their own functional project update site - the Callisto site
     will reference these sites, not replace them.</li>
 <li>All Callisto projects <b>must</b> use <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/equinox/documents/plugin-versioning.html">4-part version numbers</a> by M5.</li>
 <li>Starting with RC1, all Callisto projects <b>must</b> plan not to break upstream
 consumers and if there is a potential breaking change, those consumers must be
 notified and given the chance to agree, disagree, or veto.</li>
 <li>All Callisto projects <em>should</em> have a written ramp down policy.</li>
         </ol>
         </p>

     	<h2>Milestone and Release Candidate Schedule</h2>
     	<p>These milestone and release candidate dates are based on the dependencies of the projects (we
     	call these the +0, +1, and +2 dependencies). Obviously, if a +0 date slips, then it will cause the
     	+1 and +2 dates to slip; similarly for a +1 slip causing +2 slips.</p>
     	<p>The milestones and release candidate dates and project-specific
     	version names are listed on <a href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Callisto_Plan_Summary">this wiki page</a>.
     	The team aimed for a June 30th Callisto release.
     	</p>
     	<p>
     	There are two planned, optional participation, maintenance dot releases.
