Thanks for all you've done for WTP Nitin. Your contributions were both
deep and broad. Good luck on your new challenges.

As mentioned in last week's status meeting, I'm stepping down as the
lead for Source Editing and JSDT, and hopefully the nominations for my
replacement won't be a shock to anyone. While I won't be disappearing
entirely, I have full faith in their ability to keep everything
running smoothly as I take on new challenges from my employer.
Committers for the respective projects, please reply with your +1s by
next week's status meeting in keeping with the guidelines at
http://www.eclipse.org/projects/dev_process/development_process_2011.php#4_6_Leaders
and http://wiki.eclipse.org/Development_Resources/Changing_Leadership .
For JSDT I'm nominating Chris Jaun. As one of the initial Committers
on JSDT, even before we separated it into its own project, Chris
undertook the messy task of removing a lot of vestigial code that was
left over from the original forking from JDT. Since then he's tackled
memory problems and all sorts of bizarre exceptions and corner cases
spanning hundreds of bug fixes, and shown a talent for and interest in
project management that, frankly, exceeds my own. If there's anyone
to step in and take over those aspects while still having the know-how
to help with the patch and bug backlog, it's Chris. Please give him
your support.
As for Source Editing, I've been working on it for 13 years, give or
take a couple of weeks, and for the last 5 of them Nick Sandonato's
been my right hand. He knows the code base as well as I do, even
better than I do in a few places, and it's been an honor to be his
mentor and friend the whole time. Whether it's responding to bug
reports with an event temper, keeping us from breaking the build too
often, or mentoring potential Committers, there's no one I would trust
more to take on the duties of the project lead. Please give him your
backing.
For everyone else, the 3.4.2 site has been waiting patiently at
http://eclipse.org/webtools/releases/3.4.2/ (releases/3.4.2 in our web
site repository) if anyone has release notes to add. Anything already
intended for post-3.4.2 patch builds comes to mind.
