| <h1>Web Tools Platform 1.0M4 - New and Noteworthy</h1> |
| <h3>Work in progress</h3> |
| <p>This milestone has been targetted to completing API review and javadoc. |
| Here are some noteworthy features to explore in this milestone:</p> |
| <p></p> |

| <tr> |
| <td align="right" valign="top" width="15%"><b>Servers View</b></td> |
| <td align="left" valign="top" width="85%"> |
| <p>The Servers view now shows the modules that are deployed to a server |
| as tree elements underneath the server. Status of the server and modules |
| is now shown in the tree, and other state information (e.g. started/stopped |
| for each individual module) will be shown in future milestones.</p> |

| <tr> |
| <td align="right" valign="top" width="15%"><b>Build Classpath</b></td> |
| <td align="left" valign="top" width="85%"> |
| <p>The build classpath (runtime classpath container) can now be editted |
| to provide source paths and javadoc attachments, just like regular |
| classpath entries.</p> |

| <td align="right" valign="top" width="15%"><b>Internal Browser</b></td> |
| <td align="left" valign="top" width="85%"> |
| <p>The internal browser and launching support was donated down to the |
| Eclipse platform for 3.1M6. Besides a few additional features, all |
| support has been removed from WTP.</p> |

| <td align="right" valign="top" width="15%"><b>Tomcat Context Support</b></td> |
| <td align="left" valign="top" width="85%"> |
| <p>The Tomcat server now supports context information placed within the |
| module. This allows you to edit the context directly inside the workspace |
| and have it automatically deployed when switching Tomcat servers.</p></td> |

| <tr> |
| <td align="right" valign="top" width="15%"><b>Internet Cache</b></td> |
| <td align="left" valign="top" width="85%"> |
| <p>An internet cache has been introduced in M4. This component caches requested |
| remote resources preventing remote access on subsequent requests for the resources. |
| The cache respects suggested expiration times for remote resources and can be |
| configured through user preferences. A background job, which caches resources that |
| were unable to be cached when first requested, is also included.</p> |

| <td align="right" valign="top" width="15%"><b>Generic server presentation</b></td> |
| <td align="left" valign="top" width="85%"> |
| <p>Each application server defined as a generic server is defined and presented individually. |
| Prior to M4 they were presented under a single generic server entry. |
