Eclipse 4.x
•Whole new look to the workbench, number of new
interactions and usability improvements
•The new 4.x workbench brings an entirely new
programming model
 The workbench is represented as an EMF model, and is
dynamically rendered
 Widgets can now be styled using a CSS Styling Engine
 The platform now supports dependency injection for common
services and a common event bus for all workbench related events
•Compatibility layer

New look for the workbench
The default appearance of the platform user interface has been refreshed. The main goals of this update were to adopt a
more modern visual style, reduce clutter, and use whitespace rather than extra keylines to separate user interface
elements. Tabs and part stacks have been redesigned to reduce emphasis on non-selected tabs and stacks.

Global search bar
The workbench now has a global search field in the tool bar. This provides a visible affordance for the "Quick Access"
feature, and may be used in the future to combine other kinds of searches into a single location.

More flexible part layout
•You can now stack views and editors together by default
•You can split the editor area to put a view beside an editor
in the editor area, and then maximize the entire editor area
to work with both at the same time
•You can detach editors

Git
•Non-visible stuff:
 Moved to Git
 Moved build to eclipse.org infrastructure
 Moved tests to eclipse.org infrastructure (Hudson)
 Helping LTS with CBI work
•Helped EGit
 Bug fixes
 Major work item was the EGit importer

Eclipse Platform
•4.2 is the primary platform
 Eclipse packages only for this version
•Most new features also in 3.8
•What runs on 3.7 or 3.8 also runs on 4.2
(compatibility layer)
•Some documented breaking changes
•No 4.2 APIs - yet
7

Beyond
•No 3.9
•3.8 SRs for critical fixes and platform currency
•4.3 a.k.a. Kepler
 Focus on API, robustness and performance
 Support running on Windows 8 and GTK+ 3
•Java 8
