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

Update of BREE

Good: We updated most of our plug-ins to Java 1.7, which allowed us to update our code basis

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. Reference commit http://git.eclipse.org/c/jdt/eclipse.jdt.ui.git/commit/?id=e44d6cf0cde7fe2f2a4c30c23ed863ecc2a249e9
