    Hi All,

    At first I didn't think this would be a problem for the projects I
    regularly work on, mostly some work to migrate them over to 3.4 +
    nightly, but then I discovered a lot of lengthy custom build scripts
    require the old 'stable' version of WOLips.

    I am wondering, would it be possible to move to a release set like...

    stable33 - current stable, that works with eclipse 3.3 in case it is
    needed. EOL it when eclipe 3.3 is EOL?

    stable - find a nice version of nightly to cut over?

    stable34 - same as stable (symlink ?), until eclipse 3.5 comes out?

    nightly - the latest/greatest?

    I am not 100% how the eclipse PlugIn architecture would work for this.
    My biggest concern is potentially the need to support older projects
    that are heavily dependent on the older less-than-glamorous
    woproject.jar from 3.3/stable. For instance, I could envision in a
    year, needing to install 'old eclipse 3.3 + wolips' fresh on a laptop to
    be able to work on some older projects quickly.

    - Mike
