I also appreciate the effort of PDT team made, it's great to release
maintenance version in Indigo SR2 time frame. And it still works well in Juno.
I don't think development team is possible to mess up the release version.
Anyway I would like to see comments from PDT and PMC.

Hi
The situation doesn't seem nearly as bad as you make out.
The public promoted builds on http://www.eclipse.org/pdt/downloads/ show a
2-Jan-2012 3.0.0 Maintenance build as the most recent and examining the ZIP
content reveals 3.0.1 content.
Installing the Juno release train installs a 2-Jan-2012 3.0.1, which correlates
with the Eclipse CVS.
The Hudson build job
https://hudson.eclipse.org/hudson/job/cbi-pdt-3.0-juno/changes shows active
public development of 3.1 in the Eclipse CVS.
So it seems there are some releng difficulties that cause 3.0.1 to be listed as
3.0.0 on the download page, and some over-enthusiasm that causes a 3.0.1
contribution to be called 3.1.
A rename can fix the download page. A resubmission of the review slides can fix
the misleading version claim. Perhaps Kepler should be 3.2 to avoid more
confusion.

Hello community,
I hesitated about raising such question in here. But I can't get any response
from PDT project even if filing critical bug for it[1].
PDT team announced PDT 3.1 was released[2] with Juno simultaneous release. PDT
3.1 also is listed in highlighted Juno project
list[3]. But none of Eclipse users knows how to install it.
I would like to believe it's just a bug, however nobody of PDT project takes
action for it. In my understanding all projects of Eclipse.org are open source,
everybody can browse the latest source code even under developing. I'm
astonished that I can't find any commit related to PDT 3.1 from its source
repository[4]. Looks like PDT 3.1 doesn't have any public nightly build and
integration build. I only find a build[5] for 3.0 in Hudson.
I'm wondering whether Eclipse.org/EPL allows a project under it that is not
really open source and just declared its new release. Hope experienced people
help resolve my doubts.
Thank you.
