            API set for the Helios release.</p>

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

        <p:internationalization>
            <p>
                Internationalization and Localization will be supported.
                <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>

    <p:themes_and_priorities>
        <p:preamble>
            <p> Themes and their priorities communicate the main
                objectives of the project and their importance. The
                section to follow defines themes that are common to all
                the sub-projects. Each sub-project defines additional
                themes and plan items corresponding to each of the
                themes.</p>
        </p:preamble>
        <p:theme
            name="Enhance support for Java EE 6">
            <p:description>
                <p> WTP should be up-to-date with supporting the latest

            name="Eclipse 4.1">
            <p:description>
                <p> WTP will support 4.1 as a secondary platform (while
                    3.7 will be primary platform). This means we will
                    occasionally compile against it, or use API Tools,
                    to make sure we are in API compliance with the 4.x
                    compatibility layer. Committers and community will
                    occasionally, but informally test with it. It will
                    not be a fully tested platform. If the bug occurs
                    only with 4.1, we will accept bugs as valid and
                    prioritize along with bugs against 3.7 based builds.
                    but will request submitters to try and reproduce on
                    3.7 first. We will not exploit anything specific to
                    the Eclipse 4.1 Platform.</p>
