Everyone,

I am starting work on PHPEclipse 1.3.0. This is in the branches. My idea
is to work on bugs to get them fixed. If it will not break compatibility i
will back-port them to 1.2.x(trunk). I have decided to keep the work that
incastrix did in the 1.3.0 branch and merge the changes form trunk into
it. I expect it to take me some time, and i will probably miss a few, but
it will get done. I will work on focusing on the major issues first that
affect both 1.2.x and 1.3.x. However if all i do is hunt bugs, even tho i
like it, i may burn out and stop working, so i want to add some new
features. I would spread them out so it would work like this.

1. Fix bugs as many as i can while refactoring code.
2. got tired of fixing bugs add new feature.
3. goto 1;

The bugs are what need some attention, and are important. But the features
help make the project easier for people to use. Here are some features i
want to add.

1. Class/Interface wizard.
2. New Code format with features similar to the Java.
3. Work with someone else on PHPUnit support.

I am willing to (and will) work on other things, but i will focus mostly
on bugs and the few features i want to add. Granted someone else can add
the features. Also i want to know what else people would like to see in
PHPEclipse, so feedback is welcome.

Also i would like to set a realistic time frame on the 1.3.0 version. I
was going to give it 1 year, but i am welcome to other peoples input.
Granted if you think it should be shorter i expect to see code from you.
:-)

Thanks.
