The Eclipse Platform top level project is currently working on the 3.1 release. The Eclipse Platform, JDT, and PDE subsystems are now into their 4th major release (1.0 in Nov. 2001; 2.0 in June 2002; 2.1 in March 2003; 3.0 in June 2004). In addition to the major JDT upgrade to support J2SE5, the overall thrust of 3.1 is solidification and readying it as a platform that will support and sustain a broad and growing base of products and user communities. 3.1 is planned for late June 2005 (plan).
This overall thrust will continue with the follow-up 3.2 release (plan). In particular, we will continue to focus on scalability, to ensure Eclipse also works well for everything from small projects involving a few individuals to large-scale IT projects with huge development organizations. We also want to enhance the Platform's support for integrating a wide range of software development lifecycle tools, such as the ones being developed the Eclipse Test and Performance Tools Platform project, as well as for integrating the next tier of tools, like the ones being developed at the Eclipse Web Tools Platform and CDT projects.
