 <h1>Web Tools Platform 1.0M3 - New and Noteworthy</h1>
 <p>This milestone is has been targetted to provide more richer function
 in view of using the milestone build for EclipseCon Feb 2005. Effort has
 been put in to provide well documented features with JavaDoc. Here are
 some noteworthy features to explore in this milestone:</p>
