I have improved the format of the tables on the Components page. Now there
are ³H1.0² and ³H1.1² columns (instead of ³first² and ³ver²):
* If there¹s nothing in the column then that component is not part of that
version of Higgins.
* If there¹s something in the column, it is ALWAYS the most recent branch
that it is part of.

Now anyone can see at a glance things like:
* If the component is new for Higgins 1.1
* If the component was in Higgins 1.0 isn¹t part of Higgins 1.1
* Etc.

For example, the GTK and Cocoa Selector (aka DigitalMe) is not part of
Higgins 1.1:
* see http://wiki.eclipse.org/Components#GTK_and_Cocoa_Selector <-- have a
look at this table and you can see this

Brian,

1. I noticed that the H1.1 column hasn¹t been updated for M5.
2. I think a lot of the entries in the H1.1 column are wrong for other
reasons too. To fix this we need to correlate the nightly builds that we¹re
doing against the list of components that we SHOULD be building. And we
should STOP building components that are not part of Higgins 1.1
3. There are a number of missing components tables on the page too. Let me
know if one of your team could add them. If not, I¹ll do it.
4. One problem we have is that there is now no way to know what¹s building
or failing. Can we put links to the LEDs red and green back on here) --If we
put links to .JPG files (red or green) and rewrite the file with red or
green pixels then we don¹t have to update the wiki (cuz the Eclipse folks
hated all the wiki edits this caused). Last time we had links to actual wiki
images ‹these looked pretty but caused the wiki churn problem. I¹m now
proposing links (e.g. http://foo/bar/org.eclipse.higgins.cbselector.jpg) <--
and every night we¹ll overwrite these image files. Links are not as pretty
as [[Image:blah]], but also don¹t have the churn problem.
