This page describes the work planned for the next release (3.6) of the p2 UI. This includes improvements for the p2 UI in the Eclipse SDK, as well as issues that have to be addressed for alternate UIs (such as RCP app requirements). Important fixes will be examined for inclusion/backport to 3.5.x maintenance stream.
The overall p2 plan for 3.6 is located at Equinox_p2_Plan
The milestone plans for 3.5 have moved to Equinox p2 UI Eclipse 3.5 Plan
The milestone plans for 3.4 have moved to Equinox p2 UI Eclipse 3.4 Plan
