PDT 1.0, Eclipse Board Meeting and IP Issues

IP (intellectual property) approval became something personal to many people involved in the Eclipse projects’ development.  I could say that from our side, we (project committers) had the biggest relief when we were notified that our IP issues have been resolved.

The highlight was this week when i actually met the people involved in these approvals and got the chance to hear the process they have been going through to make this happen.

I must say that it sounds quite a pain going through this and i have much respect to what they’re doing.

PDT 0.7 was actually canceled because we didn’t have the approval on time and we didn’t want to postpone it all the time so we decided to have one last Release Candidate of 0.7 and to proceed to the next version of the PDT - 1.0.

PDT 1.0 is going to be very much like 0.7 but with stability improvements and bug fixes.

We are also going to come up with Summer Camp of features we want to develop but we need the community help in that. Further information can e found in: http://www.eclipse.org/pdt/summer_camp.php
