3. JUnit
 PDE tooling now supports multiple versions of the same plug-in
 This is not JUnit specific
 Helios contains 2 versions of the ‘org.junit’ plug-in: JUnit 3 and JUnit 4
 Enables JUnit4 support in Eclipse Test Framework
 Migration paths
 Existing ‘org.junit4’ plug-in remains in Helios
 Details: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse/Testing/JUnit4_Changes

5. JDK 7 ™
 All JDK 7 work in done under the Open JDK umbrella
 JSRs that should be part of JDK 7 and are a concern for the JDT team:
1. 292 (invokedynamic)
2. 294 (module support)
3. 308 (annotations on type)
4. ? (Project coin)
5. ? (Closure: Project Lambda)
6. ? Maybe more to come
 No JSR for Java 7 ™
 Open JDK = GPL licence  Incompatible with EPL
 The Eclipse Foundation is in discussions with Oracle (formerly Sun)
since last September about being able to access documentation under
a license that we could use to implement the corresponding part into
JDT

6. JSR 308
 Today we have a working prototype for the compiler.
 We can successfully parse, compile and generate the new attributes
in the .class files.
 Work in done in a separate branch:
Host: dev.eclipse.org
Repository path: /cvsroot/eclipse
Module: org.eclipse.jdt.core
Tag: JSR_308 (Branch)
 We still need to update all the JDT tooling with the new syntax (DOM/
AST, search engine, code assist,…)
