This page summarizes the open issues with the Eclipse SDK4.0 builds. Developers who are working with these builds are encouraged to add issues to this list (and open corresponding bugs).
See Running the compatibility layer for information about developing the compatibility layer.
As we move into the end-game, it's important to prioritize the issues so we have a good idea about what will and what might not be fixed.
Contents
Issues List
This list is not a complete list of work to be done. High priority items represent issues that impede a user's ability to use Eclipse 4.0 as an IDE. Lower priority issues describe missing (non-critical) function, missing polish, etc. Feel free to add to this list, remove things that are fixed, or increase the priority of bugs that are affecting you. Please don't lower priorities set by others.
This list will serve as the "polish" list as we approach the SDK 4.0 end-game.
Workspace recovery
If in the event that the SDK gets into a state that it will no longer start on your workspace but starts on a new one, you may want to try resetting the state of your workbench by deleting the deltas.xml file.
