E4/Self Hosting
As we move into the end-game, it's important to prioritize the issues so we have a good idea about what will and what might not be fixed.
We ask that you do not edit this wiki page directly, at this point. Please add Boris and Susan to the CC list of any bug you think should be on the list, with a comment like "This bug should be a P1 (or P2, or P3) on the priority list."
See Running the compatibility layer for information about developing the compatibility layer.

Issues List
This list is not a complete list of work to be done. High priority items represent issues that impede a user's ability to use Eclipse 4.0 as an IDE. Lower priority issues describe missing (non-critical) function, missing polish, etc.
This list will serve as the "polish" list as we work our way through the Eclipse SDK 4.0 end-game.
Workspace recovery
If in the event that the SDK gets into a state that it will no longer start on your workspace but starts on a new one, you may want to try resetting the state of your workbench by deleting the deltas.xml
file.
