          Description</B></H2>
        <blockquote> 
          <P>Pollinate's goal is to build an eclipse-based IDE and toolset that 
            leverages the open source <a href="http://incubator.apache.org/beehive/">Apache 
            Beehive</a> application framework.</P>
          <p>Pollinate provides a full-featured Java development environment that 
            enables developers to visually build and assemble enterprise-scale 
            web applications, JSPs, web services, and leverage the Java controls 
            framework for creating and consuming J2EE components; optimized for 
            a service-oriented architecture. This will be accomplished by creating 
            a broad set of eclipse plugins and user interface components for building 
            projects on top of the Apache Beehive framework. Beehive is an Apache 
            open-source project that uses the innovations in JDK 1.5 to help simplify 
            programming on J2EE and other Web Application containers.</p>
          <P>Note. Pollinate is in proposal phase. Some of the initial design 
            documentation and proposed API specfications can be found <a href="http://www.instantiations.com/pollinate/">here</a> 
            (http://www.instantiations.com/pollinate/). When this project passes 
            the Creation Phase, the development team home page with be <a href="/pollinate/">here</a> 
            (/pollinate/). There is a <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/newsportal/thread.php?group=eclipse.technology.pollinate">newsgroup</a> 
            created for the discussion of the project. Please visit the newsgroup 
            and get involved. </P>

        <H2>Status</h2>  
		The project has been formally proposed and is in the Creation Review stage. 
        It will be placed in the Technology PMC as an incubator project to develop 
        these tools. <br>
        <h2>Platforms</SPAN></h2>  
		Pollinate plugins will be built in Java and should be portable to any 
        platform supported by Eclipse. 
        <h2>Development plan</SPAN></h2>
        <p>The plan for the Pollinate project is stll being developed. There is 
          a <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/newsportal/thread.php?group=eclipse.technology.pollinate">newsgroup</a> 
          created for the discussion of the project. Visit us there to discuss 
          technical issues, commit resources, and help us start this project.</p>
        <p> We plan to follow a milestone based delivery schedule with incremental 
          progress visible in each milestone. Here is a rough outline of the timeline 
          we expect to follow for milestones. </p>
        <p> M1 - Q3 2004<br>
          Deliver prototype with basic editors and builders necessary to produce

          simple Beehive based web-app </p>
        <p>M2 - Q4 2004<br>
          Deliver a version with enough functionality for the community to produce 
          a <br>
          full scale Beehive based web-app</p>
        <p>M3 - Q1 2005<br>
          Deliver a version of Pollinate that is as close to version 1.0 feature 
          <br>
          complete as possible</p>
        <p>M4 / RC1 / GA - Q2 2005<br>
          Deliver a version that is feature complete (M4) followed closely by 
          release <br>
          candidates (RC1, RC2, ...) as necessary to fix last minute bugs and 
          add <br>
          polish needed reach 1.0 release (GA)</p>
