PDE/Plan/4.4

Overview

This is the PDE project plan for the Eclipse Project Luna release.

Plan items are listed in the milestone when work is intended to start. Items that take longer than one milestone may be moved after completion. The plan is intentionally heavy on milestones two through five to allow for bug fixing, iterative development, performance and polish work in later milestones. The items found here are not guaranteed to be included in the release.
