Migrating ICE to Eclipse 4
This page describes the migration of ICE from an Eclipse 3.7.2 (Indigo) RCP application to an Eclipse 4.2.2 (Juno) application. The migration is a long running effort and will not be complete until Eclipse 4.x natively supports Eclipse Forms without the 3.x to 4.x bridge. ICE currently runs fine on a 4.x build using the bridge, but ideally, every piece of ICE would be migrated from the 3.x RCP to the 4.x EAP.
ICE's Eclipse 4 plug-in is called gov.ornl.ice.client.e4 and is available in the branches directory of the repository.

Time table for full adoption
The public release of ICE will be built on Eclipse 4 using the bridge sometime in late April after under going thorough tests to compare it to the Indigo-based version.
There are no plans to migrate to a native Eclipse 4 port until Forms are supported.
