      • AI: component owners to come up with a list by thursday
    • 170915 (DaveM) Getting rid of Platform "internal" access
      • ok with getting rid of popupMenus; testAttribute() already implemented in SystemViewElementAdapter
      • dynamicPopupMenus? - If we can't live without Platform "internal" access, we should get rid of it - Uwe thinks it can be done with standard Eclipse.

    • add unit tests for all new or modified API

    • Update features and include the words "end-user" and "extender" --> AI Martin wait for Platform and adapt
    • Update Wiki to explain whether SDK contains examples --> AI Martin wait for Platform and adapt
  • For bugs, see the bug process page (assigned to inbox, plan items, status new, hi-priority, API, open with patch, assigned to M5) -- pretty many right now
