<p:introduction>
<div>The Source Editing project is a sub-project in the
Eclipse WTP top
level Project. Its main goal is to provide source
editing support for
typical "web" languages and the mixing of them,
with a focus on making
the editors extensible and easily reusable.
This document describes
the features and the API set in the Source
Editing subproject for the
WTP 3.2 release.</div>

<p:themes_and_priorities>
<p:preamble>
<div>
<p>Themes and their priorities communicate the main objectives of
the project and their importance. 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 Source
Editing 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>

<div>
<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. Experienced Eclipse users
should
find few, if any, unpleasant surprises or omissions in the
UI.</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>

plan items are designated with "EaseOfUse" in the Status

<div>
<p>
Source Editing must be able to deal with development and
deployment on
an
increasingly larger and more complex scale. WTP
should spend focused
effort on performance testing and improvement
when dealing with
extremely large projects and workspaces,
particularly where
extensibility is offered.

plan items are designated with the "plan" and "performance"

<div>
<p>
The 'P' in WTP stands for Platform, meaning Source Editing can
be
used by adopters to
extend its functionality. This theme is about
continuing to ensure the
success of its adopters by promoting new
API's and Extension
points.
These should be backed with robust Junit
tests and good documentation.
