Ok,

So i have had it with this 3.2 fragment issue. I have tried to get it to
build, but my working environment is to new and is causing more issues
for me working on 3.2. I have a version in Nightly that works. My idea
is to keep it, make a update site for 3.2 and say if you want support
move to 3.3. I have issues with 3.4 that i would like to work on, and i
want to get things cleaned up for 3.4. 

So if someone else wants to take the 3.2 issue and work on it i will
help where i can, it's mostly working, but it needs more attention,
right now it will load the compatibility patch for everyone. I tried a
workaround, but that only ended up in breaking the build. So i am
throwing in the towel. I don't see it worth my time to get PHPEclipse
1.2.0 working on a very old version of Eclipse.

Also as it seems only two people tend to answer these posts, Mbowie, we
will have an arm wrestling match and the winner get's to decide if we
push 1.2.0 out with 3.3 support only.  The 1.2.0 series will support
Eclipse 3.3. The 1.3.0 will support 3.4, and if we can get stuff done
quicker than the 1.2.0 release, we will work on making 1.4.0 work with
Eclipse 3.5 and have it out close to the time they do the next major
release of Eclipse. Then maybe for the 3.6 release of Eclipse we can get
in on the "all plug-ins release at same time" fun. 

>From talking with someone (zx) in the Eclipse channel we should target a
release of PHPEclipse per Eclipse release. Because some items that we
depend upon in a new release of PHPEclipse may not be in an older
release of Eclipse. And like i said before we are not a large team, so
we cannot branch and have people support different versions. But then
again if someone wants to step forward and do that i am all for it. But
your not volunteering me for the job. I don't mind fixing bugs, but it's
gotta be worth fixing for me.
