Eclipse/Mars Retrospective
This page captures notes for the Mars retrospective to be discussion at one of our Eclipse project weekly architecture call.
Each component should add its items to this page.
Platform UI
Good: We updated most of our plug-ins to Java 1.7, which allowed us to update our code basis Bad: We were forced to argue for every single plug-in, why we need this. If you compare this with JDT UI which upgraded all plug-ins at once with one comm,it we lost lot of energy and time.

Discussion: I think we should loosen the rule.
