 			WTP will support the platforms certified by the Eclipse Platform
 			project. For a list of platforms supported in Dali 2.2, see

 		</p><p>.</p><h3>Internationalization</h3>
 			<p>
 				Internationalization and Localization will be supported.
 				</p><ul>
 					<li>
 						Internationalization (I18N)
 						<p> Each project should be able to work in an international
 							environment, including support for operating in different locales
 							and processing/displaying international data (dates, strings,
 							etc.).</p>
 					</li>
 					<li>
 						Localization
 						<p> Each project should provide an environment that supports the
 							localization of the technology (i.e. translation). This includes,
 							but is not limited to, ensuring that strings are externalized for
 							easy translation.</p>
 					</li>
 					<p>Where possible, projects should use an open and transparent
 						process to create, maintain and deliver language packs translated
 						into multiple languages in a timely manner. The primary languages
 						to consider are: English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese,
 						Japanese, French, German, Spanish.</p>
 				</ul>

 				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 Dali Java
 				Persistence Tools 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><h3>Ease of Use</h3><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.</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>

	WTP will support the platforms certified by the Eclipse Platform
	project. For a list of platforms supported in Dali 2.2, 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>
	</p><p>.</p><h3>Internationalization</h3>
	<p>
	Internationalization and Localization will be supported.
	</p><ul>
	<li>
	Internationalization (I18N)
	<p> Each project should be able to work in an international
	environment, including support for operating in different locales
	and processing/displaying international data (dates, strings,
	etc.).</p>
	</li>
	<li>
	Localization
	<p> Each project should provide an environment that supports the
	localization of the technology (i.e. translation). This includes,
	but is not limited to, ensuring that strings are externalized for
	easy translation.</p>
	</li>
	<p>Where possible, projects should use an open and transparent
	process to create, maintain and deliver language packs translated
	into multiple languages in a timely manner. The primary languages
	to consider are: English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese,
	Japanese, French, German, Spanish.</p>
	</ul>

	<p><a href="#toc">Table of Contents</a></p><h2><a name="compatibility">Compatibility with Previous Releases</a></h2><p><a href="#toc">Table of Contents</a></p><h2><a name="themes_and_priorities">Themes and Priorities</a></h2><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 Dali Java
	Persistence Tools 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><h3>Ease of Use</h3><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.</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>
