To -ensure the planning process is transparent and open to the entire Eclipse -community, plans are posted in an embryonic form and then revised from time to -time throughout the release cycle. </p> - -<p>The first part of the plan deals with the important matters of release -deliverables, release milestones, target operating environments, and -release-to-release compatibility. These are all things that need to be clear -for any release, even if no features were to change. </p> - -<p>The remainder of the plan consists of plan items for the projects under the -Eclipse UML2 project. Each plan item covers a feature or API that is to be -added, or some aspect that is to be improved. Each plan item has its own entry -in the Eclipse <span class=SpellE>bugzilla</span> database, with a title and a -concise summary (usually a single paragraph) that explains the work item at a -suitably high enough level so that everyone can readily understand what the -work item is without having to understand the nitty-gritty detail. </p> - -<p>Not all plan items represent the same amount of work; some may be quite -large, others, quite small. Some plan items may involve work that is localized -to a single subsystem; others may involve coordinated changes across several -projects within the same top-level project; and others may involve coordination -with other top-level projects.
